You are not alone — help is available.

Experiencing thoughts of suicide can feel overwhelming and frightening. At The Summit Counseling Center, we provide compassionate, confidential support to help you find safety, hope, and a path forward.

Are You Struggling with Suicidal Thoughts?

You may benefit from counseling if you:

  • Experience persistent thoughts about ending your life
  • Feel hopeless, helpless, or overwhelmed by pain
  • Struggle to cope with stress, depression, or trauma
  • Are concerned about your safety or that of a loved one
  • Want support to regain control and hope

Our Approach

Our therapists offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to share openly. We use evidence-based care and tailor therapy to your needs so you feel supported every step of the way.

You deserve help, and you don’t have to face this alone — we’re here to listen and guide you.

You Matter

Reaching out is an act of strength. With the right support, safety and hope are possible.
