Everyone has a story to tell. Our life experiences make our ever-evolving story unique. And sometimes, those experiences are painful… Broken relationships that we fought hard to keep together. Hating the person we see when we look in the mirror. Constantly comparing our failures to others who seem to have it all together. It’s just one disappointing chapter after another.

Challenging seasons have a way of finding us and suddenly we are walking down a path we never intended to venture. Is it time for an emotional tuneup in an area of your life that you have hoped for years would go away on its own? Perhaps your story includes traumatic memories that shape your current experience, addiction to substances/compulsive behaviors, divorce, regret, or unexpected illness/chronic pain. Whatever your unique story is today, you do not have to travel alone. I also want to assure you that seasons can and do change. Facing your situation in a supported therapeutic environment is one major key to a brighter path.

At times things can become so overwhelming that it can create one developing unhealthy habits such as overeating, arguments in relationships, and difficulties at work. There are also cultural factures that can hinder mental health growth, and learning how to appropriately incorporate some cultural practices in therapy can be beneficial. Being a single parent, serious medical diagnosis, self-esteem, and major transitions, can also cause a lot of distress, and learning how to apply distress tolerance and using interpersonal effectiveness tools for a healthy communication can help reduce/decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety.

In this this time of crises, people are struggling to cope with the multiple challenges they are facing, including isolation, fear, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, financial stress, and relationships. As a therapist, I want to offer assistance to individuals who find themselves overwhelmed and seeking a safe space in which to openly discuss their concerns. Although I take insurance, I will be discussing a sliding scale with individuals who would otherwise be unable to get treatment.

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.
