Empowering minds, elevating lives
Self-harm is a coping behavior that often reflects intense emotional distress, trauma, or underlying mental health conditions. Individuals who engage in self-injury may feel overwhelmed by their emotions and unsure how to process them. Structured treatment helps individuals understand the root causes of self-harm, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward emotional regulation and stability.
Self-harm, also known as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), refers to intentionally hurting oneself without the intent to die. It may include:
Self-harm is often used to manage overwhelming feelings, numbness, or emotional dysregulation. It is commonly associated with conditions like borderline personality disorder, depression, PTSD, and anxiety.
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment to understand the function of self-harming behaviors, emotional history, and co-occurring diagnoses. A personalized plan is then developed within the appropriate outpatient level of care:
High-intensity care for individuals at high risk or with recent self-injury behavior
Supportive structure for managing urges, building skills, and developing insight
Long-term therapy for individuals working toward emotional stabilization
Safety planning and emotional support are core components of care at all levels.
Treatment is paced for emotional safety and readiness, with emphasis on building resilience and self-compassion.
