Suicidal Thoughts

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.

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.
