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.

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.
