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.

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.

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.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification therapy. I start with learning what purpose or function the behaviors serve. Next, we explore if there is a healthier alternative, discover the root cause of the behavior, and/or focus on habit reduction and eventually elimination.
