How CWC Helps with Self-Harm Therapy

At Colorado Women’s Center, we recognize that self-harm behaviors are often a manifestation of deeper emotional and mental distress. Self-harm behaviors are maladaptive coping strategies for regulating intense thoughts and feelings. Adolescent girls may engage in self-harm to express, control, and witness emotional pain often brought on by vulnerabilities and stressors in interpersonal relationships and the environment. Our therapists are trained to help your daughter navigate these challenging feelings, providing a compassionate and understanding environment where healing can begin.

When parents discover their daughter is exhibiting self-harm behaviors, they often feel fear, confusion, and guilt. It’s important to recognize that her behaviors indicate that she is experiencing deeper emotional and mental distress. Our competent staff are here to help your daughter in her recovery and to support you as well. We offer parent coaching sessions, as well as parent/daughter sessions to help facilitate healthy dialogue.
