At what point is a counselor required to involuntarily commit someone to a hospital for self-harm? For example, can you tell them that you have self-harmed or that you have urges to self-harm, without the risk of being committed?

If they truly believe that you are a risk to yourself or to others then most likely yes they could admit you to a hospital, & I'm sure if you spoke to a professional about self harm, They may try to talk to you more often during the week but again if they believe that you are a risk to yourself or to others, They might take a different precaution.
