Suicidal Ideation & Crisis Support
If You’re Struggling to Stay Alive, We Want You to Know — There Is Hope
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by pain, hopelessness, or the belief that things will never get better — please know this: you are not alone, and these thoughts are not a sign of weakness. They are a signal that your brain, heart, and nervous system are under unbearable pressure.
At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we treat suicidal ideation with urgency, compassion, and precision. Your life matters, and there is a path forward — one that brings clarity, relief, and the restoration of hope.
What Is Suicidal Ideation?
Suicidal ideation refers to thinking about, considering, or planning suicide. These thoughts can be passive (“I wish I weren’t here”) or active (“I want to end my life”), and they often occur alongside severe depression, trauma, anxiety, PTSD, or overwhelming life stress.
Thoughts of suicide are not uncommon, but they should never be ignored. Suicidal ideation is a mental health crisis — and it deserves immediate, skilled, and compassionate support.
Signs Someone May Be Struggling with Suicidal Thoughts
Expressing hopelessness or helplessness
Talking about death or saying the world would be better off without them
Withdrawing from others or giving away possessions
Sudden mood changes — especially from despair to calm
Increased substance use or reckless behavior
Decline in hygiene, motivation, or communication
Previous suicide attempts or a family history of suicide
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these signs, please reach out — you don’t have to carry this alone.
How We Help at Alleviant
We don’t just treat the symptoms — we help restore hope at the neurological, emotional, and spiritual level. Using Objective Psychiatry, we utilize spectral EEG (sEEG) brain mapping to understand how your brain is functioning in crisis. This gives us the first measurable “vital sign for the brain” and allows us to intervene with precision and care.
Our team creates a customized recovery plan that includes psychiatric support, therapy, advanced treatments, and physical restoration — so that healing can begin at every level.
Treatment Options for Suicidal Ideation at Alleviant
Comprehensive Psychiatry (In-Person or Telehealth)
Our experienced psychiatric providers offer immediate support and long-term stabilization. We evaluate risk factors, coordinate care across your providers, and stay with you through the entire healing process.
Medication Management
In some cases, medication can provide fast symptom relief — particularly for severe depression, anxiety, or trauma-related instability. Pharmacogenetic testing may help guide appropriate treatment without unnecessary side effects.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood and anxiety regulation. At Alleviant, we follow FDA protocols for depression, anxious depression, and OCD — ensuring safe, evidence-based care.
We also offer NeuroSync™ (Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) — an advanced, off-label treatment guided by your spectral EEG (sEEG). This allows us to customize the frequency, intensity, and target areas based on your brain’s unique electrical activity.
Health Coaching (Telehealth)
Our health coaches work alongside your clinical team to address nutritional imbalances and inflammation that worsen depression, toxic exposures (e.g., chronic stress, substance use, environmental triggers), and deficiencies in sleep, hydration, or essential nutrients like vitamin D or omega-3s. Together, we build back the body to support the healing of the mind.
Therapy (In-Person or Telehealth)
Therapy provides a safe space to explore thoughts, fears, trauma, and emotional pain. Our therapists are trained in crisis care, trauma-informed approaches, and CBT for suicidality, helping you rebuild your identity, purpose, and resilience.
Spectral EEG (sEEG)
This 4-minute, non-invasive scan helps us visualize how your brain is functioning under stress, identify any dysregulation, and create a custom plan to stabilize your mental state. It also allows us to track your recovery over time.
Spravato® (Esketamine)
Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray designed specifically for individuals with treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideation. It offers rapid symptom relief and is administered in a calm, monitored setting by trained professionals. It can be a lifesaving intervention for those in deep distress.
