Whitcomb Terpening, LCSW-S

My clients describe me as:

Comfortable, relatable, and invested; my goal is to help you feel seen and heard, and to lessen the hold suicide has on your life.

Something to know about my approach is:

I'm casual. I keep my presentation and my environment relatable so that coming to therapy is comfortable and welcoming (for both of us!). Think jeans and tees and sitting cross-legged :)

Together, we will:

Explore your suicidal thoughts &/or grief. Straight to the point! Qs that generally help to open the conversation: What makes your suicidal thoughts more (& less!) intense? What makes suicide an option for you? How are you experiencing your grief?

I specialize in working with people who:

have any experience w/ suicide: those who are living with suicidal thoughts (active, passive, chronic); those who have survived a suicide attempt; those who have lost someone to suicide; & loved ones and professionals who support suicidal loved ones.
