Self-Harm Counseling Services at Allium Counseling (In-Person or Online Therapy)

At Allium Counseling, we provide compassionate, specialized counseling for individuals struggling with self-harm, also known as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Self-harm can include various forms of intentional injury that are often used as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions.

While these behaviors are not typically suicide attempts, they can signal significant emotional distress and require professional care to address the underlying issues and develop healthier coping strategies.

Our experienced therapists work with teens, adults, and older adults, utilizing evidence-based treatments such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other proven approaches. DBT, in particular, is highly effective in helping individuals develop emotional regulation skills, reduce harmful behaviors, and build more effective ways to cope with stress, anxiety, or emotional pain.

Our experienced self-harm therapists create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful life changes.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment and Holistic Approach At Allium Counseling, safety is our top priority. Our therapists are highly trained in assessing the level of risk associated with self-harm behaviors. We carefully evaluate each client’s situation to determine whether additional support, such as a higher level of care or hospitalization, is necessary. By closely monitoring risk, we ensure that clients receive the care they need promptly and appropriately.

Collaborative Care for Holistic Support and Better Self-Harm Counseling

We recognize that effective treatment for self-harm often involves collaboration with other members of a client’s care team. For adolescent clients, we work closely with parents, pediatricians, and school social workers to create a supportive network and ensure consistency across all aspects of the client’s life. For adults and older adults, we coordinate with primary care physicians and psychiatrists to address any co-occurring mental health or medical concerns. This team-based approach ensures that every client receives the comprehensive care they need to achieve lasting recovery.
