About Me

I’m Kelsey Shogren, PsyD, a clinical psychologist based in Berkeley, California, and a graduate of the Wright Institute. My approach to therapy is collaborative—while I have a broad base of knowledge to bring to our work, you are the expert on your own experience, and we can work together to create the life that you envision.

I specialize in treating trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation disorder (skin picking) and passionate about this work. My personal experience with trichotillomania led me to pursue a career in psychology to support others navigating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). I’m actively involved in the BFRB professional community and stay up to date with the latest research and treatment approaches through regular conference attendance and collaboration with other experts in the field.

I also have extensive experience treating PTSD. I have worked with Veterans, first responders, medics, and civilians at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, Northern California VA, and the Iowa City VA. My expertise includes war trauma, combat trauma, moral injury, and sexual assault. I have a background working with women in particular and completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the Women’s Clinic of the San Francisco VA.
