Suicidal
Andrea Town
Occupational Therapist, MScOT, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Suicidal thoughts often arrive when pain feels larger than our capacity to carry it, and having them does not mean you are broken. In Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer psychotherapy for adults experiencing passive suicidal ideation and chronic suicidal thoughts in the context of depression, trauma, BPD, and other long standing struggles. Drawing from DBT, Gestalt, compassion focused, and safety informed approaches, we work together on safety planning, understanding what the thoughts are communicating, strengthening reasons for living, and reducing the suffering underneath. If you are in immediate crisis, please contact 9 8 8 or your nearest emergency department.

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.

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.
