How OICBT Helps With Hair Pulling

Hair Pulling Disorder involves recurrent urges to pull out one’s hair despite attempts to stop, often resulting in distress, shame or impairment in daily functioning. OICBT provides evidence-based support for hair pulling through care that is matched to your needs, goals and preferences. The clinic uses a personalized intake process to recommend a strong service fit, and OICBT clinician profiles identify hair pulling, body-focused repetitive behaviours and OCD-related concerns as relevant areas of focus. Depending on fit, care may include individual therapy with habit reversal, ERP or related CBT-based supports when appropriate.

  • Care is collaborative, client-centred and guided by research-informed recommendations.
  • Treatment may draw on CBT, ERP, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches.
  • Goals may include symptom relief, practical skills, resilience, relationships, daily functioning and values-based action.
