Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Kara Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals struggling with behaviors like hair pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking (excoriation). These patterns can feel automatic and difficult to stop, but they are highly treatable. Together, we’ll build awareness of triggers, develop alternative responses, and use structured strategies to reduce urges and regain control—without shame or judgment.

Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
I use CBT and DBT to support clients dealing with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like hair pulling or skin picking. Therapy focuses on understanding triggers, building awareness of urges, and developing practical strategies to interrupt the behavior while addressing underlying emotions. DBT skills—such as distress tolerance and emotional regulation—are used alongside CBT techniques to reduce compulsive urges and strengthen healthier coping. The approach is structured, compassionate, and tailored to help you regain control and confidence.
