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).
