Hello and welcome! I specialize in helping millennials with anxiety who have tried therapy before with minimal success. We might be a good fit if you struggle to prioritize your needs, and feel there are parts of yourself that you need to hide, You may try to only share the parts of yourself you are sure others will like or appreciate. You may expect perfection from yourself and your inner critic is never satisfied, leaving you feeling anxious. This way of living, ignoring your own needs and sacrificing your well-being, is taking its toll, interfering with your psychological health, your relationships, and your enjoyment of life.

You're going through a rough spot & don't quite feel like yourself. Sometimes you struggle with toxic shame, a harsh inner critic, & abandonment fears. You're not quite sure why, but sometimes you bounce between feelings of fear, overwhelm, & depression. Sometimes relationships seem difficult & might leave you feeling worthless & confused. You might have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, co-dependency, ADD, ADHD, or OCD. You suspect something else might be the culprit. Your childhood wasn't ideal, and you're curious how it affects you today. You want to explore the past but not get stuck in it.

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.
