Relationships of any kind can cause pain and confusion. It's hard to know what went wrong or why cycles of toxic relationships keep happening. People are drawn to loved ones for caring support. When these relationships become hurtful, it is common to feel isolated, trapped in your own home, and desperately needing clarity and peaceful stability. While the pain is real, there is great joy in taking steps towards healthier relationships. You deserve all the trust, encouragement, and companionship that positive people can bring to your life.

I have found great joy in serving under the umbrella of Behavioral Health. I began my professional journey as a mental health counselor at Allendale Associates in 2013. I was passionate about my discipline, but I quickly realized the need to explore the correlation between behavior, trauma, and family in order to become more effective in my service and purpose. Additionally, the nexus of disciplines inherent in this helping profession, fuels my unequivocal appreciation for the dynamics of the home life and its impact on the youth; hence, I became a Certified Parent Educator and Licensed Professional Counselor.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is reach out and make that phone call for support. When a part of you realizes the issues or struggles are beginning to feel too overwhelming to manage alone. Although it may not feel like it at the time this is your inner strength that has always been there wanting to guide you forward on your path... Maybe you may feel stuck in certain areas of your life and wish to move forward but are unsure of how to do that. Or you have placed the needs of others before your own. Perhaps at times you might even feel unworthy of help. This is the time to invest in yourself and your potential.

The ideal patient is one who is one in pursuit of growth and desire to become more fully themselves. A willingness to discover and develop awareness of yourself is fundamental to our therapeutic work. As we honestly, kindly, and compassionately explore and learn about those inner processes, we will bring healing and conscious changes to the present dynamics and behaviors which have led to seek out supports. As we move closer to closure with a positive outcome, we will incorporate changes in how we relate to Self and to others, and set forth to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

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.
