Self-Harm Treatment for Adults and Teens in Michigan

Is it possible to figure out why I feel the need to hurt myself?


How do I stop the feelings of shame and guilt that go along with self-harming?


What can I do to reduce the risk of being suicidal? 



At Emerge Mental Health, we understand the deep pain and struggle that self-harm can bring to adults and teens. If you or a loved one is grappling with self-harm, you’re not alone, and help is here. Our compassionate, evidence-based approach, centered on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), empowers individuals to heal, build resilience, and reclaim a life of hope and balance.


Understanding Self-Harm in Adults and Teens


Self-harm, also known as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), is often a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, stress, or trauma. For teens and adults, it can manifest as cutting, burning, scratching, or other forms of self-injury. While it may provide temporary relief, self-harm often leads to feelings of shame, isolation, and worsening mental health. At Emerge Mental Health, we see self-harm as a sign of unmet emotional needs, and we’re here to help you find healthier ways to cope.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Your Path to Healing


At Emerge Mental Health, we specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a proven, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals struggling with self-harm, emotional dysregulation, and other mental health challenges. DBT is particularly effective for both teens and adults, offering practical tools to manage distress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships.



Why DBT for Self-Harm?
