  • Jill McMahon: The Power of Empathy in Healing from Trauma /Ep 4044

About Jill Mcmahon

Jill McMahon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Scottsdale, Arizona. She has spent over 20 years helping individuals and families heal from grief, loss, and trauma. Her passion and experience focus on suicide bereavement, supporting people after the loss of a loved one to suicide...

…She began this work in 2003 at the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing in Washington, D.C. Since then, she has worked with thousands of survivors, helping them move from pain to healing.

Bringing Help to Survivors of Suicide

Jill helped bring the L.O.S.S. (Local Outreach for Suicide Survivors) model to Phoenix, Arizona. This model offers support right after a suicide has occurred—often at the scene. It ensures families don’t face the shock and sorrow alone.

Because of her work, many communities across the U.S. have been trained to offer this model. In fact, research shows that postvention support can help prevent future suicides.

An Expert and Advocate for Mental Health

Jill was trained by Dr. Frank Campbell, a leader in suicide loss recovery. Over the years, she has worked in both nonprofit organizations and private practice. She has become a respected voice in the fields of grief counseling, suicide prevention, and trauma therapy.

Public Speaker and Author

Jill often speaks at conferences, schools, and community events. Her topics include:

  • Suicide grief and healing
  • Teen anxiety and depression
  • Family challenges after loss
  • The effects of trauma and gun violence

She has also been a guest on podcasts and radio shows, sharing her insights in a way that is honest, hopeful, and easy to understand.

A New Book of Hope

Jill is currently working on a new book about healing from gun violence trauma. The book will offer guidance for survivors and serve as a tool for therapists and students working with trauma-affected clients.

Final Thoughts

Jill McMahon’s work helps people know they are not alone. Through counseling, training, and writing, she brings comfort, knowledge, and hope to those struggling with loss. Her goal is always the same: to help others heal and to break the stigma around mental health and suicide.
