My approach to Trichotillomania
Our clinical approach is one of compassionate curiosity, inspired by the work of Dr. Gabor Mate. Two of the clinicians are also trained in Internal Family Systems therapy, and the other four are IFS-informed. Through the compassionate curiosity and IFS lens, we know that there are no bad parts and no "bad" behaviors. The things we do, even those that seem self-destructive, are efforts of different parts of ourselves to protect us from pain. We honor that pain and the protective roles of our parts, including that part that triggers hair-pulling behaviors. We go at the pace of honoring where you are and what feels the most helpful.
About me
We offer a range of trauma-informed therapy services to help you heal in a way that feels safe and empowering. Our clinicians provide personalized support through every stage of your journey. Sessions are available online for clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Florida. Please keep in mind that our office building is in Connecticut, so if you live in one of the other states, we will need to meet over telehealth.
