One-on-one Counseling
Suicidal ideation can be the result of a traumatic life event, or something a person has been struggling with for most of their lives. The Solace House approach allows the client to begin therapy wherever they are in their life.
The Solace House therapeutic model is client-centered and strengths-based. Our clinicians are experienced in working with depression, anxiety, bereavement, and trauma. Each therapist is trained in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral interventions. Our services are offered in a warm, welcoming, safe environment. And, treatment is tailored to each individual’s strengths, challenges, and preferences. All services are provided by Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) or supervised Master Social Workers (MSW) clinicians, free of charge, and completely confidential.
What to expect.
In just three steps, we’ll get you started on your journey.
Initial call.
When you first call, our trained, compassionate staff will listen to you. They will ask you a few questions about what’s going on in your life, why you are seeking help at this time, and schedule you for an assessment with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
In-person assessment.
Your next step is an initial appointment at one of our offices, which should take about 50 minutes. This is the perfect opportunity to talk in depth about what’s been going on to bring you to this point in your life. Talking to friends and family can be great, but sometimes you need someone—an unbiased, non-judgmental professional—to help you recognize that suicidal thoughts are usually temporary, and to assist you in regaining hope and moving forward with your life.
Counseling program.
We take it from there. We’re here as long as you need us. After your assessment appointment, regular scheduled appointments can be made through our administrative staff, all free of charge, and completely confidential. Solace House is client-centered and clients make progress at their own pace. It is really up to the individual but it usually takes a minimum of four to six weeks to move past a suicidal crisis.
