Dr. Tice specializes in the treatment of BFRBs, such as picking, hairpulling (trichotillomania), and other issues related to repetitive body issues.

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.

Specializing in hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting, I use habit reversal, acceptance strategies, and CBT techniques to break cycles and build healthier habits.

Corpus Christi's identity is shaped by its Gulf Coast location, its significant Hispanic population, and the large military presence of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi — creating a therapy community serving families navigating military life, trauma, and deployment alongside a broader civilian population dealing with the economic volatility of an oil-dependent regional economy. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand in a city where a majority of residents are Hispanic and Spanish is central to daily life for many families. Driscoll Children's Hospital and Christus Spohn Health System provide institutional mental health resources for the Coastal Bend region. The city's outdoor culture and coastal lifestyle coexist with real mental health challenges tied to poverty, occupational instability, and environmental vulnerabilities from Gulf weather events.
