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.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification therapy. I start with learning what purpose or function the behaviors serve. Next, we explore if there is a healthier alternative, discover the root cause of the behavior, and/or focus on habit reduction and eventually elimination.

Raleigh sits at the heart of the Research Triangle alongside Durham and Chapel Hill, and its concentration of biotech, pharmaceutical, and university workers drives consistent demand for therapists experienced with perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological costs of competitive knowledge-economy careers. The region's rapid growth has made Raleigh one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity challenges common among transplants rebuilding lives in a new city. WakeMed Health and UNC REX Healthcare serve as institutional anchors alongside a well-established private practice community across North Hills, Midtown, and the Five Points area. Raleigh's growing diversity — with large South Asian, Latino, and Black professional communities — is increasing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
