The goal of counseling for self-injury isn’t to tell you to just stop. It's to help you find new and healthier ways to cope with the emotional pain you're feeling inside. Think of it as a guide to help you build a new toolkit. We work together to help you understand the "why" behind your behavior, so you can stop living in a cycle of pain and start living a life that is full and rewarding. You can learn to be in control of your emotions rather than having them control you.

The urge to self-injure can feel like an overwhelming wave. The key is to find a way to ride that wave without being swept away by it. We can help you learn to identify your triggers and build a personalized set of healthy coping skills for the moments when the urge arises, such as grounding techniques, reaching out to a support person, or moving your body. You can find a way to get through this, and we're here to help you get there. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 for immediate support.

Self-injury is often a way to cope with overwhelming emotions. It's like a pressure release valve that has become a dangerous habit. Counseling provides a safe space for you to explore your emotions without judgment. We’ll help you understand what's really going on inside and give you a new playbook for responding to your feelings in a healthy way. You can learn to feel your emotions without having to act on them.

While self-injury and suicide are both serious issues, they are very different. Self-injury is often a way to cope with emotional pain, while suicide is the act of ending one's life. We understand that this is a very sensitive topic, but we want you to know that we can help you with both. If you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out to us. We will be there for you every step of the way.
