Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Body-focused repetitive behaviors comprise of a group of behaviors that can include pulling at or biting hair, picking at skin or nails, and other behaviors that result in damage to the body. I use evidence-based interventions including habit reversal training and the comprehensive behavioral model (ComB) to treat trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation (skin picking).

Body- Focused Repetitive Behaviors like hair pulling (trichotillomania), nail biting, and skin picking (excoriation disorder) are often difficult to control.

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.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
I use CBT and DBT to support clients dealing with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like hair pulling or skin picking. Therapy focuses on understanding triggers, building awareness of urges, and developing practical strategies to interrupt the behavior while addressing underlying emotions. DBT skills—such as distress tolerance and emotional regulation—are used alongside CBT techniques to reduce compulsive urges and strengthen healthier coping. The approach is structured, compassionate, and tailored to help you regain control and confidence.

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.

Jacksonville is home to one of the largest U.S. Navy installations in the country, making it a city with outsized demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, deployment-related adjustment, and military family dynamics. The city's sprawling geography and car-dependent layout can contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness, relationship issues, and depression tied to the challenges of building community in a dispersed city. Baptist Health and UF Health Jacksonville provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many Jacksonville therapists offer telehealth to reach clients spread across Duval County's wide geography.
