Therapy for Cutting & Self-Harm in Teen Girls and Young Women

You don’t have to hurt yourself to feel relief. There’s a way out—with less pain and more peace.


You don’t want to keep doing this. But it’s the only thing that works.

You’ve tried all the things. The coping skills. The thought stopping techniques. The grounding exercises.

But when everything gets too loud—or too numb—the urge to cut feels like the only way out. The only thing that brings relief.

And then comes the shame. The hiding. The long sleeves or pants in the summer. The fear someone might see. The panic if they do. The realization that it takes more, deeper cuts to feel the relief.

You don’t want to keep living like this. But you don’t know another way.

This doesn’t have to be your secret anymore. You deserve a life that doesn’t hurt this much.

What cutting is really about…

Cutting and self-harm aren’t about getting attention, no matter what people like to say about it. They’re about coping with pain that feels unmanageable.

And even if this is the only way you know right nowit doesn’t have to stay that way forever.

You Don’t Have to Live Life in Survival Mode

Hi, I’m Crystal—and I help teen girls and young women stop cutting so they can regain control in their lives and dress in clothes that don't hide their marks by releasing self-punishment, guilt, and shame. I help you love what you see in the mirror by learning to control the urges to cut. I know what it’s like to look fine on the outside but feel like you’re falling apart inside. I’ve been there too.

My clients are often the ones hiding what is really going on from the outside word. They’re smart, capable, and carrying a lot. Therapy gives them the space to breathe, reflect, and finally feel supported.

FAQs

  • You don’t have to be.

    We won’t focus on forcing change—you won’t be judged, pushed, or given a checklist.

    Instead, we’ll explore why the pain is there, what it’s asking for, and what else might be possible when you feel supported instead of stuck.

  • This isn’t just about talking—it’s about finding relief that lasts. It’s about rebuilding your relationship with yourself — learning to quiet the negative voice in your head, reconnect with what brings you joy, and feel safe in your own body again.

    I show up with honesty, warmth, and zero shame. Together, we’ll build real tools for the hard moments and a plan for the ones that catch you off guard.

    Teletherapy lets you do this work from a safe, private space where you can be yourself without covering up—literally or emotionally.

  • Everyone’s journey is different, but many clients start noticing small shifts within the first few sessions—whether it’s sleeping better, feeling less reactive, or having more awareness around their thoughts. Real, lasting change takes time, but you don’t have to wait months to feel relief.

  • Watching someone you love hurt themselves is heartbreaking and confusing. You want to help, but nothing you say seems to get through.

    Please know this space is designed to meet your child with empathy, not shame, and to help them find safer ways to cope.

    You can support them by joining sessions if they want, attending educational meetings with me, and reminding them they are strong enough to beat this. When they want to talk and share their hard work - Listen. Acknowledge. Congratulate.

    You’re not in this alone - we’ll navigate it together.
