I provide evidence-based treatment for BFRBs and OCD, and deliver in a way that is both accessible, helpful, and relatable for my patients. In treatment we explore the function of your BFRB, and how it can be an avenue for self-soothing, expression, and coping. We work to identify contributing factors and set realistic goals, including strategies to incorporate in your daily life. I recognize my clients are more than this behavior, and we often work through other barriers that stand in the way of a meaningful, productive, and fulfilling life.

I have specialized in treatment of trichotillomania, compulsive skin picking, nail biting and other BFRB?s for over 30 years. I provide in-person sessions, as well as TeleHealth therapy when appropriate.

Dr. Silverton is an experienced Ph.D. psychotherapist specializing in treating patients with body-focused repetitive behaviors (hair pulling/skin picking/nail biting). Working from a supportive psychotherapy perspective, she utilizes Habit Reversal Training, cognitive therapy, mindfulness/relaxation-breathing and hypnosis techniques to interrupt the compulsive behavior. EMDR (eye movement desensitization) may be used to enhance treatment. Longer psychodynamic techniques are utilized to help patients maintain abstinence by dealing with understanding the symptom, how it serves a purpose to regulate emotion, its impact on their lives, feelings of shame and humiliation, hypersensitivity to their body, and general feelings of self-dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. Combined treatment modalities are used to help patients gain mastery of this problem. Over the years, Dr. Silverton has successfully helped many patients by tailoring treatment to each individual.
