Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I work with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (like hair pulling or skin picking) by exploring the emotional and relational roots of these symptoms. Through a psychodynamic lens, we look at how these behaviors may unconsciously serve to manage overwhelming feelings, self-criticism, or unresolved inner conflict. Our work supports deeper self-understanding, emotional regulation, and gentler ways of relating to the self.

Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Hair pulling, skin picking or other repetitive behaviours are not just “bad habits.” They are often ways the nervous system tries to cope with stress, anxiety or overwhelm. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing awareness and building healthier coping tools that actually work.

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.

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.
