Hi, I’m Nicole! You’ve already taken the first step in the process of becoming a better version of yourself. I know how difficult it can be to admit one might need help, and even more difficult to open up to someone new. I provide a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental place to explore whatever challenges life may bring. I hope to create a safe environment of trust, care, and respect; where we can work as a team to set attainable goals and a plan to achieve them.

Starting your mental health journey can be overwhelming. Sometimes it is a struggle to know where to begin or find the words to describe how you feel. We can tuck trauma away like a book on a bookshelf waiting to be picked up and read. Trauma is not always associated with war. It can be something that can be seen as seemingly small, like growing up in a lonely household, or it can be seen in surviving a car accident. Wherever you are in your life, whether it is struggling to begin a new career, having a major life event, or maybe it is time to address your social anxiety, I would be honored to extend a helping hand.

Do you need help fine-tuning your life? Are your children addicted to technology? Do people tell you that you’re over-reacting? Whether you have children or not, it can be very difficult to stay focused on the tasks that need to be completed each day. This can lead to stress, difficulty sleeping, or lashing out at others. Therapy can be the perfect place to relax, reset, and recharge.

Tired of behavior that gets in the way of your goals? Discouraged that you take one step forward and two steps back? Imagine feeling extremely good about yourself once you’ve aligned your behavior with what you actually want in life. If you find yourself setting goals, and struggling to stick with them, you have come to the right place. Do you want to increase positive behaviors (exercise, healthy eating, self care) or decrease negative behaviors (substance use, eating disorders, self harm)? Are mental health issues standing between you and the life you want? Do you need support for the everyday problems that keep adding up?

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.
