Dr. Devina Daya

I support individuals struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviours, such as hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting. Using evidence-based approaches, we work to increase awareness of triggers, build alternative coping strategies, and reduce shame while fostering lasting behavioural change.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Unwanted body focused repetitive behaviours often originate in the subconscious mind as coping mechanisms for stress, boredom, or emotional discomfort. Hypnosis works by accessing that subconscious space and helping to reframe the mind’s association with the habit, release the need for it, and create new mental pathways that support calm, awareness, and control.

Angela Jones OCD and Anxiety Treatment Centre
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW Registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
BFRBs such as hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting can feel impossible to control and often come with feelings of shame or frustration. I provide evidence-based treatment including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My goal is to help you build awareness, reduce harmful patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies so you can feel more in control and compassionate toward yourself.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
I approach body-focused repetitive behaviors—such as skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting—as meaningful responses, often serving as ways the body regulates tension or unmet emotional needs. Together, we explore what these behaviors are expressing and the patterns behind them. Through increased awareness and a more compassionate relationship with oneself, change can emerge in a way that is both sustainable and respectful.
