Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion.

Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Skin picking, hair pulling and nail biting habits (BFRB's, Body focused repetitive behaviors) are notoriously hard to stop. And they can cause real damage, embarrassment and isolation. If you have had failed attempts to stop these habits, it is not your fault. Working with an experienced therapist using evidence based treatments gives you a big advantage and can lead you to quick and successful long term management. I combine insightful, caring depth work with scientifically validated evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from harmful habits and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
