Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’re having suicidal thoughts, it doesn’t mean you want to die—it often means you want the pain to stop. Therapy focuses on safety, stabilization, and creating a clear plan to reduce risk while building real support and hope. If you are in immediate danger or can’t stay safe, call emergency services or go to the nearest ER; in Canada, you can also call or text 988 for immediate support.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Suicidal thoughts can be terrifying, overwhelming, and cause for concern. However, these thoughts can also be passive or existential in nature and represent a deeper desire for a change that isn't life-altering - maybe it's not about ending your life, it's about quitting your job or leaving your relationship. In session, you'll be given the opportunity to reflect and share your experiences. We will likely explore emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies, in addition to healthy communication skills.
Note: police involvement is based on the client's safety. Unless the client is in immediate danger of harming themselves or others, authorities will not be contacted upon disclosure of suicidal thoughts alone.

Suicide is an intentional, self-inflicted act that results in death.

I have a specialty in this field and working as a crisis intervention worker especially with kids aged 12-18 years I can help you and your child cope with suicidal ideation/behaviors and or self-harm thoughts/behaviors.

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
