Self Harm

As a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) therapist, I offer specialized therapy services to support individuals struggling with self-harm. DBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, helping individuals manage overwhelming emotions and behaviors. If you are engaging in self-harm, our sessions will focus on building distress tolerance, enhancing emotional regulation, and developing effective coping strategies. My aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and work towards healthier ways of managing your emotions.

During our therapy sessions, we will explore the underlying issues contributing to your self-harming behaviors, such as unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or severe emotional pain. DBT emphasizes the importance of creating a life worth living by helping you identify and pursue meaningful goals, improve relationships, and find a sense of purpose. Through mindfulness techniques, you will learn to stay present and gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, which can help reduce the urge to self-harm. Together, we will develop a comprehensive safety plan, equipping you with practical tools to manage distress, and ensuring you have the necessary support to navigate difficult moments. My commitment is to help you heal and empower you to reclaim hope and resilience.
