Suicidal
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.

Suicidal
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.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Suicidal thoughts can feel frightening, isolating, or exhausting to carry alone. Therapy can provide a compassionate and steady space to talk honestly about what you are experiencing while strengthening safety, support, coping, and reasons for living. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you get through intense moments with care and support.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Suicidal thoughts can feel frightening, isolating, exhausting, or difficult to talk about — especially when you are carrying pain that feels overwhelming, relentless, or hard to explain.
My background in acute mental health, crisis work, trauma-informed care, and broader mental health settings allows me to approach these experiences with compassion, honesty, and realism. I understand that suicidal thoughts are often connected to deep pain, burnout, trauma, hopelessness, nervous system overwhelm, or feeling trapped — not simply a desire to die.
My approach focuses on safety, understanding, reducing shame, and helping you make sense of what may be happening beneath the surface. Together, we work to create space for honesty, build practical supports, strengthen coping, and move toward relief, connection, and reasons to keep going — even when things feel impossibly heavy.

Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist, Dipl. Psych.
Life can be difficult, but finding help doesn't have to be. It is important to get help if you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis or is thinking about suicide. When life hits hard, it is normal to have thoughts that it would be easier to deal with if you were not alive.

Navigating intrusive thoughts of ending your life can feel like carrying an unbearable weight in complete darkness, leaving you exhausted, frightened, and convinced that escaping the pain is your only option.

Rooted in our core values of empathy, integrity, tailored care, and authentic growth, we offer a compassionate, non-judgmental sanctuary where you can speak the unspeakable without fear of shame or sudden loss of agency. Together, we work at a gentle, supportive pace to establish immediate safety, soothe physiological overwhelm, unpack the deep pain underneath, and build a personalized path toward lasting hope, renewed vitality, and a life truly worth living.
