Melissa Lillie

I work with people who are struggling with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), OCD, anxiety, and Tics. BFRBs include Hair-pulling (Trichotillomania), Skin-Picking ( Excoriation Disorder), and other compulsive behaviors such as excessive nail-biting, lip/mouth biting, and skin scratching. If you struggle with these behaviors, you know that they can be long-standing and incredibly hard to stop. You may find yourself engaging in these behaviors when you are anxious or when you are bored. Life with these disorders can be full of shame and isolation, and can prevent people from fully engaging in their lives. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Inference Based CBT, CBIT and mindfulness practices.
