Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) are repetitive self-grooming actions such as hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, or scraping, which can lead to physical harm. These behaviors can feel difficult to control and are often driven—consciously or unconsciously—by urges, tension, boredom, emotional distress, or sensory discomfort, sometimes providing temporary relief or satisfaction. BFRBs are not merely “bad habits”; they are recognized mental health conditions that can cause significant emotional distress, interfere with daily life, and impact well-being.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with coping with body-focused repetitive behaviors can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with these behaviors and get more of what you want from life. You can understand what you can and can't control, and if any of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
