Many of us live our lives balancing one life event after another. All is well until that ONE MORE THING happens! Some people lash out on others or suddenly experience an overwhelming flood of emotions. Others lose interest in activities or have a change in their sleeping or eating habits. Coping with stress, relationship issues, and other life events may cause depression, anxiety, or other emotional responses. Many of my clients have been able to find better ways to cope with their "series of unfortunate events." Empowering clients to find positive strategies to COUNT IT ALL JOY again is at the heart of what I do.

Life is hard. And when we feel isolated and alone it can feel unbearable. We don't have to endure life feeling lost or alone. We were created for connection and relationships, with others and ourselves. Painful experiences, trauma, unhealthy relationships, shame, grief, etc, can create barriers that keep us from experiencing the very things that we deeply long to experience. Being vulnerable and sharing these experiences is scary, especially when we find it hard to trust. I understand this fear, and I personally know being vulnerable is one of the most courageous things we can do, and a necessary avenue to experience healing.

Everyone experiences hardships in life. Using evidence based practices, I work with clients from all walks of life. My goals often include helping clients heal wounds, make sense of relationships, increase their peace and confidence, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve their overall quality of life. Whatever you’re experiencing, you’re not alone and it would be an honor to walk with you through this. I believe counseling is an effective means for many people to take charge of what they can change, accept what they cannot, and live with more intentionality and less reactivity.

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.
