Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors Therapists in Chandler, AZ

Body-focused repetitive behaviors such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking (excoriation disorder) can be distressing and difficult to manage alone. Treatment focuses on understanding triggers, improving awareness of behaviors, and developing practical strategies to reduce urges. Medication management and behavioral techniques can help individuals gain greater control and reduce the impact these behaviors have on daily life.

I try to teach my clients to love themselves and what to do with the repetitive thoughts

This component is for individuals struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviors, supporting self-awareness, coping strategies, and skill-building to reduce urges and improve emotional and daily functioning.

Many people suffer silently through BFRBs. We are here to help you learn how to reduce your hair pulling, skin picking, etc. while navigating the emotional impact of BFRBs. We assist you in learning how to have more awareness of your behaviors, learn how to manage your urges differently, and ultimately reduce the BFRBs and their impact on your life. We offer both individual and class formats for BFRB treatment.

With tics and body focused behaviors, I take a warm approach using exposure and response prevention. I have special training in this area.

Chandler is one of Phoenix's most economically dynamic suburbs — home to Intel's major chip manufacturing campus and a growing semiconductor and technology sector — creating demand for therapists experienced with high-performance careers, workplace stress, and the psychological pressures of the tech industry. The city has a significant South Asian and East Asian professional population alongside a large and long-established Hispanic community, generating broad demand for culturally affirming therapy across very different backgrounds. Chandler Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with a private therapy community serving downtown Chandler and the Price Road tech corridor. Chandler's suburban character and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists frequently address.
