Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oklahoma City's mental health landscape was profoundly shaped by the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building — one of the deadliest domestic terrorist attacks in American history — and collective trauma, resilience, and healing remain embedded in the city's identity and its therapy community. The city has a significant Native American population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for Indigenous clients — including work on historical and intergenerational trauma — are an important part of the local landscape. Oklahoma's opioid and substance use crisis places addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma among the most pressing concerns therapists address. OU Health and Mercy Oklahoma City serve as major institutional anchors alongside a growing network of private practitioners.
