Cara Briscoe
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
When life feels so challenging and hope is lost, suicidal thoughts and/or desires to self-harm may arise. I am here to support you in creating a safety plan, developing additional coping mechanisms, providing tools for assessing risk and building upon your resources. While your safety is always my first priority, I also welcome open, honest and non-judgemental conversations about suicidal ideation and self-harm that go beyond surface level safety concerns. I acknowledge the social stigma that exists around topics of suicide and self-harm, which is why I strive to provide a safe space that you may not have otherwise.

Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
When working with someone experiencing suicidal ideation, thoughts, or intention, mental health professionals follow specific protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual. Here are some common steps they might take:
1. Establishing a Safe Environment: The mental health professional ensures that the person is in a safe physical environment, free from any immediate harm or access to means of self-harm. If necessary, they may collaborate with emergency services to ensure the individual's safety.
2. Active Listening and Emotional Support: The mental health professional provides a non-judgmental and empathetic space for the person to express their feelings and thoughts. Active listening and emotional support are crucial in helping the individual feel heard, understood, and validated.
3. Assessing the Risk: The mental health professional conducts a thorough assessment to determine the severity of the person's suicidal thoughts, intentions, and risk factors. This assessment may involve exploring the frequency, intensity, and duration of the thoughts, as well as any previous suicide attempts, access to means, and the presence of supportive relationships.
4. Developing a Safety Plan: Collaboratively, the mental health professional and the individual create a safety plan that outlines specific strategies and resources to help manage the crisis. This plan may include identifying trusted individuals to reach out to, developing coping skills and distraction techniques, and establishing steps to remove immediate access to self-harm methods.
5. Referring to Emergency Services: If the risk is immediate or imminent, mental health professionals are mandated to involve emergency services to ensure the individual's safety. This may involve contacting crisis hotlines, local mental health crisis teams, or even admitting the person to a psychiatric facility, depending on the severity of the situation.
6. Treatment and Therapy: Mental health professionals provide ongoing therapy and treatment tailored to the individual's needs. They may utilize evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the underlying issues contributing to suicidal ideation and promote mental well-being.
7. Collaborative Care: Mental health professionals often work collaboratively with other healthcare providers, such as psychiatrists or primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care. This may involve medication management, consultation, or coordination of care to address any underlying mental health conditions contributing to the person's distress.
8. Follow-up and Support: Mental health professionals prioritize ongoing support and follow-up after the immediate crisis has passed. They monitor the person's progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide continued emotional support to prevent relapses and ensure the individual's well-being.

Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
In my experience Suicidal thoughts are the back door that we keep open "just in case". Many of the individuals that I have supported do not actually have a desire to die, they desire to be less depressed, less anxious, in less pain. Of course! You deserve to have more peace in your life. Let's ease the pain together.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Suicidal thoughts can be characterized by thoughts and preoccupations with death and suicide. A CBT and Narrative approach will be used to explore your relationship with these thoughts. By externalizing these thoughts we will be able to explore and understand the narrative seperatly from your identity. By understanding you thoughts and behaviours we can also start the process of change.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
When life is painful, suicide can seem like the only option. We see these thoughts as the mind's best attempt to find a solution to the pain and suffering that you're experiencing - that doesn't mean that it is. Our prior experiences - the things that have been done to us and perhaps the decisions that we made can leave us feeling stuck in the belief that there is something wrong with us, that we're worthless, and that things will never get better.
Hear us when we say that there is NOTHING wrong with you - that you ARE enough - and that you CAN rise from the darkness you currently feel - yes, EVEN if it doesn't feel this way now. We want to help you understand how you got stuck in these patterns of thinking, release the past into the past, learn effective and adaptive coping strategies that will keep you alive so that you can build a life that you want, and are excited, to live.
In addition to supporting individuals who are experiencing suicidal thoughts, we also work with those who have attempted suicide as well as family members who are impacted by those who are experiencing suicide ideation and who have acted on these thoughts.
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
When life’s pain feels overwhelming and inescapable, it is understandable that suicidal thoughts would emerge as a response as it acts as a shield of sorts. From an emotionally focused perspective, I aim to gently explore and understand the deep emotional pain that gives rise to feelings of suicide which are often rooted in profound disconnection, emotional isolation, and a sense of hopelessness. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can express your emotions openly, without fear of judgment. At the same time, we carefully examine the emotional triggers behind these thoughts - such as feelings of rejection, worthlessness, or abandonment. We will work towards a greater self-awareness of your emotional needs and vulnerabilities through the therapeutic relationship. It can also be useful to use Internal Family Systems (IFS) as it offers a compassionate framework for addressing suicidal thoughts by exploring the various parts of ourselves that may be in conflict or distress. In IFS, these thoughts often represent a part that feels overwhelmed or hopeless. Instead of judging this part, IFS encourages us to approach it with curiosity and compassion to understand its intentions. This process can also lead us to reveal protective parts shielding us from unresolved trauma. By acknowledging and integrating these parts, we can begin to reduce internal tension and ultimately help to ease the suicidal thoughts. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Suicidal thoughts highlight a significant junction between severe emotional anguish and unhealed relationship trauma. Suicide thoughts might be a symptom of hopelessness stemming from experiences of abandonment, abuse, or neglect, which are woven into the fabric of attachment ties. Trauma, whether explicit or implicit, can deepen the sense of hopelessness and isolation, amplifying the intensity of suicidal ideation. Therapy becomes a lifeline amidst the darkness, offering a safe space to explore the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering compassionate connections, addressing the root causes of distress, and developing coping strategies, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of suicidal thoughts, reclaiming a sense of hope, resilience, and purpose in their journey towards healing and renewed vitality.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
Suicidal thoughts are a sign of depression. If you have suicidal thoughts you may find it difficult to cope with certain aspects of your life. Talking about these feelings can really help. While everyone feels a little down from time to time, suicidal ideation is an indication that you feel overwhelmed and lost in your problems. Moderate to severe depression can lead you to self-harm or suicidal thoughts. My goal is to help you feel better by discussing the things that make you feel like ending your life and turn these thoughts around with adaptive, life-affirming strategies.
