What is a BFRB?  BFRB stands for Body Focused Repetitive Behavior.  It is a term generally used to describe related disorders that  include hair pulling, skin picking, and nail-biting, AKA Trichotillomania, Excoriation, and Onychophagia disorders. 

If you are interested in pursuing treatment for any of these disorders, I have outlined my sessions below.
