Nicole Waters (Flowing Waters Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Behaviors like skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting often come from stress or self-soothing patterns that feel impossible to stop. I use compassion-based and behavioral techniques to help you understand these urges and develop healthier coping tools. Our goal is to reduce shame, increase awareness, and create sustainable change.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
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.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
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.

Renton is a King County city south of Seattle home to Boeing's 737 final assembly lines, and an increasingly diverse suburban community that has grown rapidly as housing costs in Seattle and Bellevue have pushed residents further south. The mental health landscape reflects both the occupational stresses of high-precision aerospace manufacturing—particularly given Boeing's high-profile quality and safety challenges in recent years—and the identity and community challenges of rapid demographic change, with significant Vietnamese-American, Somali, East African, and other immigrant communities finding housing more accessible here than in the city. Valley Medical Center's behavioral health programs and a growing private therapy sector serve the community. Common therapy concerns include aerospace manufacturing workplace stress, immigrant and refugee mental health, economic anxiety as housing costs rise, and the challenges of building community in a rapidly changing suburban landscape.
