Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors Therapists in Carrollton, TX

Skin picking, hair pulling, nail biting — these behaviors often carry a quiet weight of shame that makes them harder to talk about. We create a space where you can explore the function these behaviors serve and build gentler alternatives, without judgment or pressure to be "perfect" about progress.

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.

We offer treatment of body-focused repetitive behaviors.

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 specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who experience body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling, skin picking, and related behaviors. I help clients develop greater awareness of their triggers, build effective coping strategies, and learn healthier ways to manage urges while improving overall well-being.

Carrollton is a Dallas-area suburb with an unusually diverse character for the DFW metro, home to one of the largest Korean-American communities in Texas—with a well-established Koreatown corridor—as well as significant Vietnamese, Indian, and Chinese communities, creating a demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy that is distinctive for a suburban Texas city. Korean-speaking, Vietnamese-speaking, and other Asian-language therapists are sought after in Carrollton, and practices specializing in the mental health needs of first and second-generation immigrant communities are an important part of the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation and cultural identity, academic pressure in communities with high educational expectations, immigration stress, and the challenges of navigating bicultural identity in a conservative Texas suburban context. The proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents access to the full breadth of specialties available in the metroplex.
