Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
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.

Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
