Therapy for Hair Pulling, Skin Picking & PTSD
IN-PERSON IN BERKELEY AND VIRTUAL ACROSS CALIFORNIA
I'm Kelsey Shogren, PsyD, a clinical psychologist specializing in body-focused repetitive behaviors (Hair-Pulling and Skin Picking) and PTSD. I take a collaborative and creative approach to therapy, helping you create meaningful change and build the life you envision.
Hair Pulling & Skin Picking Therapy
I offer an action-oriented approach that can help you identify and manage the triggers behind these behaviors. By shifting your inner dialogue from shame to compassion and curiosity, you can develop self-soothing methods and make intentional choices toward a values-based life.
PTSD therapy can significantly reduce symptoms after a trauma. Using approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure, we work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs, process trauma, and gradually re-engage with life—empowering you to reclaim your own safety, trust, and agency.
I'm passionate about sharing strategies I've developed with fellow clinicians who are supporting individuals facing body-focused repetitive behaviors. I strive to bring trichotillomania into conversations about mental health to make treatment and resources more effective and accessible.
If you're considering therapy and have questions, I'd be happy to meet—virtually or in person—to discuss how we can work together and explore next steps.
