Dermatillomania Treatment: Break Free from Skin Picking and Reclaim Your Life
Minutes turn to hours as you stand transfixed before the mirror, your fingers automatically finding every small bump or imperfection. The cycle feels endless – promises to stop, covering up the damage, willing yourself to resist the urges. Yet here you are again, feeling ashamed, isolated, and wondering if anyone sees it, or if they truly understands.
Expert Care on Your Terms
You'll connect with specialized dermatillomania therapist through our secure, HIPAA-approved, online platform, right from the privacy of your own space. No more worrying about being seen in a waiting room. No more anxiety about showing your skin in an unfamiliar office. Our virtual sessions provide the expert care you need with the privacy and comfort you deserve.
Understanding Dermatillomania: This Isn't Just a "Bad Habit"
Dermatillomania isn't simply a lack of willpower or a bad habit you need to break. It's a recognized mental health condition that affects millions of Americans, yet many suffer in silence, feeling isolated and misunderstood. The overwhelming urges, the momentary relief that picking provides, the shame that follows – these experiences are real and valid. Our team specializes in Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) like dermatillomania, offering evidence-based treatment that addresses both the behavioral patterns and the deeper emotional landscape that maintains the cycle.
Why Experience Matters in BFRB Treatment
Led by Dr. Sarah Lorenz, with 17 years of specialized experience in treating body-focused behaviors, our team understands the unique challenges of dermatillomania. We know that standard anxiety treatments often fall short. That's why we utilize a comprehensive approach that combines Habit Reversal Training, Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment, and mindfulness-based strategies – all tailored to your specific triggers and patterns.

Through our virtual sessions, we create a space where you can be completely honest about your experiences without shame or judgment. Recovery isn't about perfect skin – it's about breaking free from the cycle and reclaiming your life.
