If you’re hurting yourself or thinking about not wanting to be here,you deserve care—not shame or lectures.

Self-harm and suicidal thoughts often grow from intense pain, feeling like a burden, or believing things will never get better. Reaching out is a courageous step. In session, you will not be punished for your honesty. This is a place to be real and get support.IMPORTANT: If you are in immediate danger or cannot stay safe, pleasecontact 988 OR 911 (in the U.S.), go to the nearest emergency room, or call your local emergency number. Online therapy is not a crisis service.
