Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)—like skin picking, hair pulling, nail biting, or cheek biting—are often misunderstood, minimized, or treated like “bad habits” that you should just be able to stop. In reality, these behaviors are complex and often serve a purpose, whether that’s regulating anxiety, managing sensory input, or creating a sense of relief or control. Many people carry a lot of shame around BFRBs, especially when others don’t understand or when it’s been dismissed in the past. At Nour Counseling, we take this seriously—and we approach it without judgment.
We work with you to understand the patterns behind your BFRBs—when they happen, what triggers them, and what they’re doing for you in the moment. From there, we build practical, individualized strategies to reduce harm and increase awareness, whether that’s through stimulus control, replacement behaviors, sensory supports, or nervous system regulation. We also address the emotional layer—shame, frustration, and the cycle of trying to stop and feeling like you’ve “failed.” This work is not about willpower. It’s about understanding your brain and body, and creating realistic, supportive ways to shift patterns over time.
9 Years Experience
Online in Greensboro, NC North Carolina (Online Only)
Greensboro is home to multiple universities — including the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina A&T State University, and Guilford College — creating significant student mental health demand and a historically grounded HBCU community with deep connections to the civil rights movement. The city's textile and furniture manufacturing heritage has given way to healthcare, education, and distribution as primary economic drivers, and therapists frequently address occupational transitions and the identity challenges of a post-industrial workforce. Cone Health provides major institutional mental health resources, alongside a private practice community serving the Fisher Park and Irving Park neighborhoods. Greensboro's significant Vietnamese, Korean, and Latino communities drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
