Trichotillomania.com

Grow your practice with clients who are searching for you

Trichotillomania.com is where people affected by hair pulling come for practical help — and the first thing many of them look for is a therapist who truly understands it. A listing puts your practice in front of them at the exact moment they’re ready to reach out.

Your next client has probably already given up on generic therapy

Most people with trichotillomania have never even told anyone that they pull their hair, let alone met a therapist who’s encountered it. They’re so scared you’ll judge them. So when they search, they’re looking for one thing: someone who gets it. If you have experience with BFRBs, you’re exactly who they’re hoping to find.

95,000 people in the United States search “trichotillomania” on Google every month.

That’s one word. It doesn’t include “hair pulling”, “why do I pull my hair out”, “trich therapist near me” or the hundreds of other things people type at 2am when they finally decide to look. Worldwide, it’s 160,000 searches a month — and behind most of them is someone who has never said the word out loud to another person.

They’re already looking. The only question is whether they find you.

Lock in the founding rate

We’ve just launched. The first 50 therapists to list in the United States join at $129 a year — and that price never rises for as long as you keep your listing. Once the founding places are gone, the standard annual rate applies.

At $129 a year, your listing costs less than most single sessions — one new client typically covers it many times over.

You might be wondering“who’s behind this?”

Leanne Beesley, founder of Trichotillomania.com

Well hello! I’m Leanne Beesley — I’m British, work in tech, and would say that trichotillomania has been the absolute bane of my existence for the past 35 years.

It started when I was 6 and never went away. I tentatively told two therapists about it in my mid twenties, was devastated by their micro-expressions (they’d never heard of the condition) and dealt with it alone in secrecy and shame ever since.

Until now!

I’ve created this platform as I think it’s time there was an official resource out there to help people understand trichotillomania and connect them to therapists (like you!) who can help.

The worst part of having trichotillomania isn’t the missing hair (and I should know — I have zero eyelashes or eyebrows).

It’s the mental side of it.

The absolute terror we feel about people finding out we have it, the shame that restricts our dating lives, the way we start stumbling in job interviews as we’re convinced the interviewer is staring at our eyebrows, how it impacts our careers because we feel like we can’t go into an office every day where people see us.

Three stages of eyebrow microblading, bottom to top: a bare brow line with no hair, guide lines drawn on, then shaded brows tattooed in.

Being a therapist to someone with trichotillomania isn’t about “helping them to stop pulling” — it’s about helping them live life fully if they are pulling.

You might be wondering“but it’s new, can this definitelysend me new clients?”

So coincidentally, scaling up global directories has been most of my entire career!

I was the founder of a global directory for coworking spaces, which I grew to the #1 in the world — ranking in the top spots on Google for all coworking space related keywords, and helping over 1 million people a year find and book coworking spaces (more on that here). I was also head of Europe for a global directory for filming locations, and have invested personally in multiple directories over the years.

Scaling up directories, just like this one, is literally what I do — and I do it well!

So although this is a brand new platform, I truly believe it won’t be long until we’re the #1 destination for everyone looking for a trich-aware therapist. And as you saw above, there are already thousands of people in the United States searching for this every month. They need somewhere to land — and someone to find when they get there.

I’ve created a special offer for the first 50 therapists in each country who join the platform (72% off an annual plan) and I’d love you to be one of them.

Why founding members win

An uncrowded directory

We've just launched. List now and you're one of the first therapists visitors see — not one of hundreds competing for attention.

$129/year, locked in for life

The first 50 therapists in the United States keep the launch rate for as long as their listing stays active — even after standard pricing takes over.

First to every location page

Early profiles establish their presence on the city, region and country pages while search traffic grows around them.

An investment into your own SEO

So we’ll be investing the money into the work needed to get this website ranking at the top of the results. The more people who find the site, the more who find you.

Common questions

What is the founding rate?

We've just launched, and the first 50 therapists to list in the United States join at $129/year — with that price locked in for life. It's not a first-year discount: your renewal stays $129/year for as long as your listing remains active, even after the standard rate applies to everyone else.

What happens after the first 50 places are taken?

The annual plan moves to the standard rate for new members in that country. Founding members are unaffected — your $129/year rate is locked in for as long as you keep your listing.

Who can list?

Licensed therapists and mental health professionals who work with trichotillomania and other body-focused repetitive behaviors, plus coaches (clearly labeled as such). Coaches are listed separately and marked as not being licensed mental health professionals.

Do I need to be a BFRB specialist?

You don't need to have built your whole practice around BFRBs, but you should be confident supporting clients who pull their hair — most people arriving here have already tried a therapist who didn't understand it. Training in approaches like Habit Reversal Training (HRT), ComB, ACT or CBT is a strong signal, and there's space on your profile to explain your experience.

What appears on my profile?

Your photo, name, credentials and profession; an about section and a dedicated “My approach to Trichotillomania” section; qualifications and professional memberships; session types, fees and whether you offer a free consultation; your location (with privacy controls); and your contact options — inquiry form, phone, website, booking link and social profiles.

How do people contact me?

However you choose. Every profile has an “Email me” form that relays the inquiry to your inbox without ever exposing your email address, and you can also display a phone number, website, booking link and social profiles.

How quickly will my listing be live?

Immediately — your profile publishes the moment your payment is confirmed, usually within a minute or two. No waiting on approvals.

Do you check listings?

Listings publish automatically after payment, and we monitor the directory on an ongoing basis. We may remove listings that misrepresent credentials or break our guidelines, and anyone can report a listing from the link at the bottom of every directory page.

Can I edit my listing later?

Yes — everything is editable from your dashboard, and changes go live immediately.

Can I cancel?

Yes. You can cancel anytime from your account. Your listing stays visible until the end of the period you've paid for.

Do you take a cut of bookings?

No. We don't process bookings or take commission. Your profile links directly to your own booking page or website, and inquiries go straight to you.

Want to join our Board of Advisors?

I come at this from the patient side. I’ve lived with trichotillomania for 35 years, but I’ve never sat on the other side of the room — and there’s a limit to what lived experience on its own can tell you.

So I’m looking for qualified therapists to be part of our Board of Advisors. What I want most is people who can review what I publish: check that the information is accurate, flag anything that’s out of date or misleading, and tell me where the gaps are.

Over time I’d like the key articles to carry a reviewer’s name against them, so readers can see who has checked the page. Anyone landing here should be able to trust that what they’re reading has been looked over by someone with clinical training in BFRBs, cognitive behavioral therapy or habit reversal.

I’m not sure yet exactly what this will look like. But if it’s of interest, please do join the directory and reach out to let me know.

Be there when someone finally looks for help

Founding places are limited to the first 50 therapists in the United States — $129 a year, locked in for life. Create your profile in about 10 minutes and be live the moment you pay. Direct inquiries, no commission, cancel anytime.
