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.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.

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.

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, cheek biting, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors can be frustrating, confusing, and difficult to change through willpower alone. Many people have also spent years hiding their behaviors or feeling shame about something they do not fully understand.
I approach BFRBs with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we can identify patterns, triggers, sensory experiences, environments, emotions, and routines associated with the behavior. Treatment may include increasing awareness, reducing barriers to change, modifying environments, finding alternative sensory experiences, and developing individualized strategies based on what your particular behavior is providing or responding to.
The goal is not shame or perfect control. It is greater awareness, choice, self-understanding, and access to tools that can reduce the impact BFRBs have on your life.

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.
