Have you been struggling lately? Perhaps you’ve encountered some depression or anxiety. You could find yourself in a difficult situation now, or still trying to recover from a past trauma. It could be your child who is struggling, and it feels like nothing you are doing is working. Perhaps you’ve considered counseling or have tried therapy in the past. You know you can do better, but you don’t want to have someone try to change everything about you. You know who you are and what you value. You want someone to listen. Really listen. You have a goal or goals for yourself, but don’t quite have the tools to reach them.

Just when you think you've got a handle on things, life gets turned upside down. Whether you're a young professional just starting out on your own, a couple looking to reignite your relationship, or a parent worried for your child's well-being, the stressors of life can pile up to a mountain. Anxiety, depression and that general "blah" feeling can become a daily struggle that leads to burnout and exhaustion. It's overwhelming and you shouldn't have to do it alone.

Does anyone really ever understand how tiring it is to act okay and always be strong when there is so much chaos going on inside of us? Maybe we are to the point where we just do not have the energy to do the things we want to do or perhaps even used to enjoy doing. We might be struggling with deep emotions no one else understands. Maybe there are things we don’t even know how to put into words. Therapy is a special place where you can learn more about who you are and find out how to get to where you want to be in life.

I value the counseling relationship and desire to practice with a client-centered approach. I have experience working with families, specifically with children and adolescent clients.

Self-Harming Therapists
How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
