Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors Therapists in Atlanta, GA

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.

Specializing in hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting, I use habit reversal, acceptance strategies, and CBT techniques to break cycles and build healthier habits.

Many people suffer silently through BFRBs. We are here to help you learn how to reduce your hair pulling, skin picking, etc. while navigating the emotional impact of BFRBs. We assist you in learning how to have more awareness of your behaviors, learn how to manage your urges differently, and ultimately reduce the BFRBs and their impact on your life. We offer both individual and class formats for BFRB treatment.

We offer treatment of body-focused repetitive behaviors.

With tics and body focused behaviors, I take a warm approach using exposure and response prevention. I have special training in this area.

Atlanta's rapid growth as a major business hub has intensified demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety among its large professional population. The city has a vibrant and well-established Black community, and many therapists focus on culturally affirming care, racial identity, and intergenerational trauma. Long commutes and sprawl are a persistent stressor for many residents, and a large share of Atlanta therapists offer extended hours and telehealth options across the metro area. Piedmont Healthcare and Emory Healthcare anchor institutional mental health services alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
