Pro Bono Suicide Prevention Consultation

If you are a Texas-based clinician, school counselor, pediatrician, or behavioral health provider working with a child or adolescent at elevated risk for suicide, you do not have to carry that case alone. Little Dove Psychology offers pro bono consultation on pediatric and adolescent suicide prevention to community providers across Texas.

This is not therapy and it is not supervision of record. It is a confidential, collegial space to think through a difficult case with a psychologist whose clinical and systems-level work has been focused on suicide prevention for years.

Background in This Work

Outside of my private practice, my professional life has centered on building safer systems of care for young people at risk:

That background is what I bring into these consultations. It is not credentialing for its own sake — it is the lens through which I think about risk, safety planning, family involvement, transitions of care, and the very real weight providers carry when a young patient is in crisis.

What This Consultation Looks Like

A single case consultation, or an ongoing thinking partnership — whichever fits your need.

Typical reasons providers reach out:

• A patient or student has expressed suicidal ideation and you want a second clinical perspective on risk level, safety planning, or next steps.
• You are working with a family where access to higher levels of care is delayed, blocked, or has been refused.
• You need help thinking through a transition out of inpatient or PHP back into outpatient care.
• A school counselor is staffing a high-risk student and wants consultation before the next family meeting.
• A pediatrician is the only provider currently involved with a family and needs help knowing what to do next.

Consultations are conducted by Zoom or phone. There is no fee, no commitment, and no expectation that the patient becomes a referral to my practice.

What This Consultation Is Not

How to Request a Consultation

Texas-licensed or Texas-based providers can reach out directly. Please include a brief, de-identified note about what kind of consultation would be most helpful and your preferred way to connect. I will respond within two business days.

Pro bono availability is limited and prioritized based on acuity. If I cannot accommodate your request directly, I will do my best to point you toward another qualified consultant or resource.
