Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting, can feel difficult to control and may lead to shame, frustration, or isolation. These behaviors are not personal failures; they are often connected to stress, emotional discomfort, sensory needs, or learned patterns of relief.
I help clients identify triggers, increase awareness of urges, develop healthier competing responses, and strengthen emotional regulation. Through compassionate, nonjudgmental care, we work to reduce shame, improve self-control, and create practical strategies that support lasting change.

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.

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.

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.
