1. Online Treatment Groups for Adults and Teens in Missouri: Our regular treatment groups are currently running online via a HIPAA-compliant website every Wednesday from 6-7 pm.
This is an open and ongoing group where you (or your teen) will learn effective strategies for managing BFRBs while gaining support and connection from others who are experiencing similar difficulties. Group structure will include the learning and practice of healthy coping skills as well as support. Group uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Habit Reversal Therapy (HRT), and Mindfulness to help each group member learn and practice tools to reduce hair pulling, skin picking, or other similar behaviors. Group members will set behavioral goals and support each other in reaching their goals.
Insurance or Private Pay $75 per session, sliding scale available based on need. To enroll or for questions, contact Dr. Chackes at lchackes@mindfulstl.com.
2. Online Support: Dr. Chackes also moderates a private Facebook group for adults with BFRBs called Overcoming Skin Picking & Hair Pulling: Help for BFRBs. Click here to join http://bit.ly/helpforbfrbs.
