HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Many of us have suicidal thoughts, even murderous thoughts. The important distinction to remember is that thought and acting on the thought are two completely different scenarios. I welcome clients that are challenged with said thoughts and am willing and delighted that we can have such meaningful conversations to get to the cause of and release such depressing and angry thoughts so that we can live a happy, productive, safe, and secure life of joy and sovereignty.

Experiencing suicidal thoughts can feel frightening, lonely, and deeply painful—but you do not have to carry that pain alone.

At Striving for Synergy, we provide compassionate, non-judgmental therapy in Toronto, Pickering, and virtually across Ontario for individuals experiencing thoughts of wanting to escape pain or feeling disconnected from hope. Our therapists offer a safe space to explore what is beneath that pain, strengthen coping resources, rebuild connection, and work toward healing, meaning, and renewed possibility.

Suicidal
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are having thoughts of ending your life, you do not need someone to panic. You need someone who can hear it. Suicidal thinking is often the mind's way of saying that something in the current life has become unbearable — and that the person cannot yet see another way through. Therapy is a place to say the thing out loud, without performance, without crisis, without anyone rushing to fix it. The work is to find out what has become unbearable and to discover whether there are possibilities that the pain has made invisible.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist addressing suicidal thinking, my foremost priority is creating a safe and empathetic space for individuals to express their emotions without judgment. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying causes of their suicidal thoughts and develop coping strategies to manage them. By fostering a sense of hope, resilience, and connection, I aim to help individuals develop a safety plan, enhance their support networks, and build skills to navigate crises effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring and communication to ensure individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their recovery journey. My goal is to empower individuals to find meaning, purpose, and hope in life, while providing compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Many folks I work with experience suicidal thoughts, so if you are scared, sad, or tired of this experience you are not alone. As an abolitionist therapist, I aim to help you lean on social and communal supports when experiencing suicidal ideation, knowing that for many people--Black and Brown folks in particular—it can feel really scary to discuss these things with a provider for fear of being placed into a carceral setting for forced treatment. I believe in your dignity and right to receive care that is self-determined and consensual.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety and depressive symptoms. Sometimes life can beat you down and it can be hard to get relief from the constant negative thoughts. I've spent much of my career working with clients on re-establishing their identity, challenging and changing their inner dialog, and supporting them on climbing out of the dark hole that depression can be. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious and depressive thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Most people have thought about suicide, but chronic suicidal thinking is something that needs to be addressed. Many therapists actually avoid working with people who are suicidal out of fear of liability. But someone needs to do it and our practice is committed to doing so. Learning to build a life worth living is a premise in DBT that helps when you're trying to let go of "suicide as a solution."

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Suicidal thoughts and self-injury impulses often come from parts of us trying to protect against unbearable pain, emotional overwhelm, or feelings of worthlessness. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients gently explore and understand these reactive parts with compassion, reducing shame and building a sense of inner safety. Somatic regulation, mindfulness, and DBT-informed skills are integrated to strengthen self-regulation, improve coping, and decrease overwhelm. Together, we work on uncovering the deeper layers of distress and developing new ways to soothe and support yourself so that these protective impulses become less urgent and less consuming. My diagnostic expertise and collaboration with prescribers ensure comprehensive care when additional support is needed.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
