Survivors Against Su***de became an obsession for me after my mother died by su***de. The driving point of it is to educate family and friends in the healing process after they’ve lost someone in such a tragic way. We are a nonprofit that hopes we never get used. Meaning, in a perfect world, there would be no su***des. However, we live in the real world and the reality is that these events are going to happen. We hope to assist others in rebuilding their lives and finding hope in the storm.

Surviors Assisting Survivors is a nonprofit org designed to assist survivors (family and friends) after the event of a su***de. Our goal is to make the healing process as easy as possible by letting survivors know they are not alone.

Hello all, it's time for a Mindful Monday Minute. An excessive pattern of thinking empty of factual basis is known as cognitive distortion or twisted thinking. It therefore causes you to see things more adversely than they truly are.
In other words, cognitive distortions are your mind persuading you to think untrue negative ideas about your environment and self.
One can learn to spot cognitive distortions and oppose any arising negative ideas. Developing a good attitude could depend on knowing how to become more conscious of your mental tendencies.
Please see the attached document on cognitive distortion that can be disseminated to your clients to better help their understanding of this adverse way of thinking.

Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts that influence how you see the world, how you feel, and how you act. It’s normal to have cognitive distortions...

My name is Nelson Thomas. I’m currently enrolled in the Master’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Lamar University, with a projected graduation of Fall of 2025. I’m currently seeing clients in both the College Station and Brenham offices of Brazos Valley Mental Health and Wellness under the supervision of Sherry Haferkamp-Watson, Psy.D. I take clients of all ages and backgrounds. My hours are flexible to accommodate most individual schedules to include both day and evening hours.
Being a disabled vet who served 19 years as a firefighter/EMT in the Air Force, I have witnessed the impact of individuals who have struggled with PTSD, anxiety/depression, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse. As a result, my passion for helping others resulted in becoming the founder and Executive Director of Survivors Against Su***de (non-profit organization).
We all desire to be genuinely seen, heard, and understood. We all strive to have authentic connection and recognition by others. When you are experiencing life’s challenges, and there can be quite a few, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. It may appear as a path you must walk alone. This is the furthest from the truth. I am here to assist you in coming home to you. I am here to guide you back to yourself. Don’t let traumatic situations hinder your ability to establish or sustain relationships. Don’t let what has happened in your past derail your future. I will guide you from the darkness of your past into a brighter tomorrow. We will collaborate together, focusing not only on your healing but also on moving towards manner your life purpose and aspirations.
