Stress, loneliness, depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, hurt, pain are some of the reasons of a person experiencing negative thoughts which may be uncontrollable and lead towards suicidal thoughts. This behavior should be taken seriously, and help should be taken promptly.
Many of our registered psychologists and licensed therapists have extensive training and experience providing psychotherapy treatment for suicidal ideation to children, adolescents, and adults.

Suicide is an unfortunate reality that many people have some sort of connection with either because they have faced suicidal thoughts, or they know someone who committed suicide. People with suicidal thoughts (the idea of killing themselves) typically feel like suicide is the only choice. Those people might feel desperation, an overwhelming, constant emotional pain, and a belief that their life has no worth. It is a hard reality to face as suicidal ideation can be caused by a multitude of factors ranging from genetic to environmental factors. Ultimately, suicide claims that more lives than homicide and war every year.

After volunteering with a crisis center I developed a passion for helping people find new hope while accepting life as it is. This requires us to acknowledge how suicidal thoughts are a normal part of the human experience, and how to move be ourselves forward finding our own personal power in the midst of severe odds. We move beyond safety planning to an exploration of how to move towards well being.
