Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors Therapists in Wichita Falls, TX

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.

I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification therapy. I start with learning what purpose or function the behaviors serve. Next, we explore if there is a healthier alternative, discover the root cause of the behavior, and/or focus on habit reduction and eventually elimination.

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.

With tics and body focused behaviors, I take a warm approach using exposure and response prevention. I have special training in this area.

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.

Wichita Falls is a north Texas city near the Oklahoma border home to Sheppard Air Force Base, one of the largest Air Force training installations in the world and a NATO flight training center, which significantly shapes the local community and mental health landscape through a large and constantly rotating military population that creates specific needs around PCS (permanent change of station) transition stress, military family dynamics, and service-related mental health. Midwestern State University adds a student population to the city's character, and United Regional Health Care System provides behavioral health services to the community. The city's identity is defined by military service, Texas conservatism, and the particular social dynamics of a mid-size community whose economic and cultural life orbits significantly around a major federal installation. Common therapy concerns include military transition and family stress, deployment-related mental health, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of building lasting community roots in a city where a significant portion of the population is on orders and will move in two to four years.
