Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors Therapists in Norman, OK

Specializing in hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting, I use habit reversal, acceptance strategies, and CBT techniques to break cycles and build healthier habits.

This component is for individuals struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviors, supporting self-awareness, coping strategies, and skill-building to reduce urges and improve emotional and daily functioning.

Many people suffer silently through BFRBs. We are here to help you learn how to reduce your hair pulling, skin picking, etc. while navigating the emotional impact of BFRBs. We assist you in learning how to have more awareness of your behaviors, learn how to manage your urges differently, and ultimately reduce the BFRBs and their impact on your life. We offer both individual and class formats for BFRB treatment.

Dr. Vivyan is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of Trichotillomania (hair pulling) and Excoriation Disorder (skin picking). She uses Comprehensive Behavioral (ComB) Treatment to give you the awareness to control these behaviors with confidence.

With tics and body focused behaviors, I take a warm approach using exposure and response prevention. I have special training in this area.

Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma, one of the country's major public research universities, and the city's identity and mental health landscape are defined significantly by this—a large student population, the rhythms of college football culture, and the academic pressures of a flagship state university create a distinctive set of mental health needs. OU's counseling center is an important resource for enrolled students, and the university's medical programs contribute to the broader behavioral health landscape across central Oklahoma. The city has a generally progressive, college-town character within a conservative state context, and this political and cultural tension is sometimes a factor in the identity concerns clients bring to therapy. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic stress, identity development, anxiety, and the pressures of athletic and academic culture in a community where the university is the central organizing force.
