Self-harm can feel like the only way to cope with overwhelming emotions — but it often creates more pain and distress. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer compassionate, confidential counseling to help you understand what’s driving self-harm, build healthier coping skills, and move toward hope and healing.

- Engage in cutting, burning, or other forms of self-injury
- Use self-harm to manage emotional pain or stress
- Feel isolated, ashamed, or unable to talk about your behavior
