How can I find a doctor or therapist who's knowledgeable about self-harm?

Great question! Luckily there are plenty of resources that can help you find specialists for self-harm. This website can help you find ones near you: http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/

The best thing to do is speak to your local GP - that way they can refer and give you the names/numbers of other doctors or therapists in your local area who you can speak to. Also, you can do a search online, but this could be a little riskier.

I think the best way to go about that would to call some of your local agencies, and ask about it. If no one in your area is able to help with that, you can go online and google some other places nearby that helps with that as well. :)

Maybe you know someone who struggles with self-harm, too and who can recommend a therapist? There are also counseling centers in many cities who advise people with such problems, you could ask there for a recommendation, too. Or is there a family doctor or any other physician you trust and dare to ask? You could also write an email or call offices near you and ask if they are experienced in dealing with self-harm (or you ask a friend to do that for you). Making the first move is always difficult, but you can do that!

Go to your GP. They will be able to refer you to a mental health team or therapist as needs be (UK).

you can search the net or you can try visiting this site : http://www.selfinjury.com/ its pretty good!!

You can do a Internet search in for professionals that specialize in self harm in your area and talk to your family doctor and other mental health professionals.

Try searching for options on Google for the nearest therapist to you, you just might find one that way! They might list that they are knowledgable about self-harm.

Most doctors are trained with this knowledge, if you go to your local GP they'll be able to refer you to the require treatment. With self-harming they work on self-esteem, depression and self-harming as well as any other mental illnesses you may suffer from. In my personal experience therapy and counseling really helped me. (If your not comfortable with going to your GP, your school should have a school councilor or shrink.)

If you web search it you can find good therapists by online recommendations. Maybe ask school counsellors or relatives.
