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.

Eliza Stucker-Rozovsky
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Hair-pulling, skin-picking, nail-biting, and cheek-chewing often carry a lot of shame, and many people have hidden them for years. These behaviors aren’t a lack of willpower. They usually help regulate something, like stress, boredom, or overwhelm, which is why “just stop” never works. I use Habit Reversal Training alongside a deeper look at what the behavior does for you, so change can actually last.
