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.

8 Years Experience
Online in Spokane, WA Washington
Spokane is eastern Washington's largest city and serves as the commercial and healthcare hub for a vast inland region — the Inland Northwest — creating a therapy community that draws clients from across a wide geographic area and addresses the particular stressors of rural and small-town communities alongside its own urban population. The city has a significant veteran and active-duty military population connected to Fairchild Air Force Base, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and service-to-civilian transition serve an important role. Providence Health and MultiCare Health System provide major institutional mental health resources alongside Washington State University's Spokane health sciences campus, which feeds clinical training into the local community. Spokane's economic challenges — including persistent poverty in some neighborhoods — mean therapists here frequently work with economic stress, substance use, and the compounding effects of long-term financial precarity.
