Find Cutting Therapists & Counselors in Santa Cruz, CA.

 

Cutting is a potentially dangerous way to cope with difficult situations and emotions. In fact, it’s one of the most dangerous forms of self-harm. If left untreated, cutting can lead to infections, worse mental health, and even death.

If you feel like your cutting is turning into something even more harmful, or that you may take your own life; immediate support is available. Please call 800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741.

If you are cutting yourself, you can learn other coping mechanisms that are better for your physical and emotional health. The first step is talking to a trained therapist who can help you understand your behaviors, their root causes, and how to feel better.

Whether you are located in downtown Santa Cruz, the suburbs of Santa Cruz, other nearby places such as Campbell, Morgan Hill, or anywhere else in California, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
