Suicidal Thoughts
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
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.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Psychotherapy can often be beneficial for people who are experiencing chronic suicidal ideation and behavior. However, when individuals are at risk of suicide it is essential that they receive a higher level of care and weekly psychotherapy is not always sufficient on its own to protect those who are in crisis and adequately address risk. Once an individual is no longer in crisis, therapy to treat the underlying causes of suicidal ideation or behavior is typically recommended. The psychotherapy model considers hopelessness to be the strongest contributing factor to suicidal ideation, and a large part of crisis intervention and post crisis counseling aims to restore hope. An individual who continues in therapy once the point of crisis has passed will likely explore ways to resist urges to self-harm, address the factors that led to suicidal thoughts, and create a plan that includes coping strategies and methods to address suicidal thoughts in the event that they recur.

Chris Cowan
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Bth
First of all the majority of people have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. Addressing suicidal thoughts with a mindfulness approach, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to express and explore these feelings, helping them to observe their thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. This practice encourages a sense of detachment from distressing thoughts, fostering a clearer perspective on life's challenges. I will walk with you through this and shift your focus from the challenges and overwhelm to being to see life in a hopeful way.

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.
