Sarah Green
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Urges to pull, pick, lash out, or act on other impulses can feel automatic, and they often come with a lot of shame. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT-based strategies to help you understand what triggers the urge, build tolerance for the discomfort without acting on it, and find replacement behaviors that meet the same need. We'll approach setbacks with curiosity instead of judgment.

Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trichotillomania or compulsive hair pulling can be devastating. However, it's really just a bad habit that has formed. The good news is habits can be changed. Habit Reversal Training and Stimulus Control are behavioral approaches to help you spot triggers, times you are more likely to pull, use competing responses instead, and to create physical barriers so that it is more difficult to pull hair.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT, RYT-200
Struggles with impulse control—whether spending, eating, substances, or outbursts—often carry shame. I help you understand the feelings and body sensations underneath the urge, without judgment. Together, we build self-regulation skills, increase pause between impulse and action, and address underlying trauma or stress that may be driving the behavior.
