Trichotillomania is a mental health condition involving repeated hair-pulling that results in noticeable hair loss. It’s common for those with trichotillomania to pull hair from the scalp, but some individuals may also pull at eyelashes, eyebrows, the pubic area, hair anywhere else on the body, or pull hair from other people or pets.

It’s common for those with trichotillomania to pull hair from the scalp, but some individuals may also pull at eyelashes, eyebrows, the pubic area, hair anywhere else on the body, or pull hair from other people or pets. Trichotillomania is often distressing and can lead to feelings of anxiety, shame, or embarrassment.
The group practices below specialize in helping people manage and reduce trichotillomania symptoms, leading to an improved overall quality of life. A behavioral therapy called habit reversal therapy is perhaps the most commonly used, and effective, treatment approach. This type of therapy is focused on learning relaxation exercises and increasing awareness of cues that trigger hair-pulling. Individuals then learn alternative behaviors, such as deep breathing or exercise, to replace the hair-pulling.
