Hello and welcome! My name is Jennifer and I am excited to meet you! I have over 10 years of experience working with children and youth who have struggled with a variety of life stressors and have had difficulties with anxiety, depression, self-harming, adjustment disorders, trauma disorders, oppositional behaviors, relational problems, bonding and attachment issues, or child abuse related problems. Kids don’t always have the skills to be able to cope with life difficulties or be able to adequately verbalize how they are feeling which means that these feelings and emotions often come out in negative behaviors.

My passion is working one-on-one with youth to empower them through the processes of healing, growth, and success. Childhood and adolescence are crucial phases in development, including facing new challenges. These challenges can leave us feeling stressed and unsure how to move forward. We will work as partners to build the skills to conquer them. I'm also passionate about working with adults to process trauma and navigate life's transitions. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and neurodivergent affirming therapy environment.

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.
