Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Body-focused repetitive behaviors such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking (excoriation disorder) can be distressing and difficult to manage alone. Treatment focuses on understanding triggers, improving awareness of behaviors, and developing practical strategies to reduce urges. Medication management and behavioral techniques can help individuals gain greater control and reduce the impact these behaviors have on daily life.
