Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Brampton, ON
With a background in mental health crisis, I've supported folks through the depths of depression, self-harm, trauma and suicidal thoughts.
Hi! My name is Sukhi and I'm the owner of Abyss Psychotherapy, a virtual practice.
Does it feel like your emotions control you? Do you have people in your life telling you "you need therapy"? Do you fight to keep it together until you're alone and then finally break down? Does it feel like you're on a spiral downwards and can't stop?
If you need a space to breathe, to wonder "why", to express heavy emotions, I can hold that space for you. If you need tangible skills, I can teach, practice with you, and provide homework. If you need release from trauma, I can help you work with the body and unlearn what the trauma has taught.

For the last 7 years, I have worked with survivors of trauma - including sexual violence, familial violence, racial trauma, homophobia, among others - to address and process their experiences. My approach to therapy is warm, responsive, playful and transparent. I believe that every person benefits from learning about themselves, and that understanding the process of therapy helps with learning about the self. I meet you where you are (literally, in some ways, as I am offering digital therapy), and believe we can move from there. I want therapy to be useful, and welcome honesty, feedback, and laughter in session.

You're not alone in this journey. I work with many adults who grapple with anxiety, depression, or feelings of 'not good enough.' Often, they're navigating major life changes and transitions, seeking clarity and understanding amidst the chaos. It's normal to lean on support to make sense of what's happening both internally and externally. As I always say, "We are not meant to do it alone." Together, we can explore, and untangle your thoughts & emotions. My approach is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I believe in holistic therapy, considering each unique individual within their surrounding environment.

How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.
Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
