The person being asked was being honest. People who scratch or cut themselves do it because it helps them deal with inner tensions. The treatment for it isn't to stop the behavior, but treat the anxiety. There are medicines these days for anxiety disorder, and a mental health professional should be very familiar with cutting and not make them feel uncomfortable about dealing with it.

The best thing is probably for the one who approached her about it the first time to suggest setting up an appointment and offer to help them figure out if their insurance will cover it.
