Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Body-focused repetitive behaviors — hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting — are driven by a nervous system seeking self-regulation through sensation. The brain reaches for these behaviors the way it reaches for any compulsion: to manage arousal, anxiety, or emotional discomfort it cannot otherwise process.
Neurofeedback addresses the underlying dysregulation directly, training the brain to self-soothe without the behavior — reducing the neurological urge before it becomes an action.

Repetitive picking, restricting, exercising, or injurious behaviors require specialized care. I use a body-positive approach to treat these and pay special attention to the underlying causes contributing to symptomatic behaviors.

Danielle Greenspan, LMFT, LPCC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 104395, LPCC 4889
I have extensive experience working with individuals with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors including hair pulling, skin picking and other behaviors that can be harmful and distressing. I use a client-centered approach to tailor interventions to fit my clients' needs. I particularly like using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to work through these behaviors.

Oceanside is a coastal city in northern San Diego County situated directly adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, one of the largest Marine Corps installations in the country, and the city's mental health landscape is heavily shaped by the needs of active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Trauma, PTSD, military sexual trauma, deployment stress, and the challenges of military-to-civilian transition are among the most common concerns for therapists working in the area. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Oceanside, and several private practices specialize specifically in military-affiliated populations. The city also has a growing civilian population of families and retirees attracted by its beaches and lower housing costs than central San Diego, and general therapy needs are well served by a broad network of local practitioners.
