Suicidal
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or trapped in a level of pain that seems unending. You might feel hopeless, numb, or burdened by the belief that things will not improve. These thoughts can feel frightening and isolating, yet they are often a signal of deep distress rather than a true desire to die.
At Selah Counselling, we take suicidal thoughts seriously and respond with calm, compassionate care. Your safety is our priority. We work with you to reduce immediate risk, strengthen protective supports, and understand the factors contributing to your pain. Together, we focus on stabilizing your nervous system, addressing underlying depression, trauma, or stress, and rebuilding a sense of hope and connection. You do not have to navigate this alone.
If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please seek urgent support by calling 911 or going to your nearest emergency department. In Canada, you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline, available 24 hours a day.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Therapy looks very different depending on whether someone is facing a personal crisis or grieving a loss. Suicide-focused counselling offers immediate, structured support to keep an individual safe during their darkest moments. Suicide loss counselling provides a gentle, trauma-informed space for survivors processing the devastating death of a loved one. I utilize both trauma-informed and compassionate-therapeutic approaches for this work.

Suicidal
Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Suicidal thoughts affect both the mind and the body, often showing up as emotional pain, numbness, hopelessness, or a sense of being overwhelmed. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, offering safe, nonverbal ways to express distress, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with moments of support, grounding, and meaning.
