STOP PICKING - START LIVING

Break Free from Skin Picking

Our personalized online therapy program empowers you to retrain your brain and find freedom from skin picking.

Imagine a world where your behaviors don't run the show.

You no longer think in limitations, and instead feel free to live life on your terms.

Suffering from skin picking is a constant struggle for control of your body and your life. Therapy is the key to recognizing your triggers and building the tools needed to change your response to them.

You've done the research. Now is the time for action.

We created our program to provide everyone with access to therapist-guided Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The most effective treatment for this disorder to date, CBT helps patients develop important tools and strategies for dealing with compulsive behavior.

Together we will set goals and bring about changes that will allow you to stop picking and start living.

Learn more about how our guided CBT-based program works.

Evidence based therapy that works.

Our program uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify skin picking triggers and retrain your brain. CBT is considered the most effective way to treat compulsive skin picking among specialists for the disorder. This therapy is effective because it empowers the patient to develop responsive skills and strategies.

Professional guidance every step of the way.

Your case is unique, and your treatment should be too. We connect you with a personal therapist who will lead you through the program and provide individualized support. Every therapist is trained by the TLC Foundation for BFRBs (body focused repetitive behaviors), and specializes in the treatment of skin picking with cognitive behavioral therapy.

Work and grow from the comfort of your own home.

Your privacy is important. This is a 100% online program, which means that you can participate from wherever you'd like. Nervous about opening up face-to-face with a therapist? Your communication with your therapist is text based via our secure messaging system.

A fraction of the cost of traditional therapy.

We developed this program to make therapy available to everyone. Full monthly access to the program costs the same as roughly 1 hour of traditional therapy. Even better, studies show that online CBT-based therapy is just as effective as face-to-face therapy.

Meaningful therapy from any device.

The beauty of a 100% online program is that it is built to fit your lifestyle. With no need to schedule sessions or visit a therapist's office, you can access the program when it's most convenient. Enjoy compatibility with laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

Keep things confidential.

We understand the personal nature of this program. Special care is taken to secure your information. Anything you share with your therapist is under therapist-client privilege (a confidentiality agreement). You may even remain anonymous if you wish.

Client Testimonials

I would sum up this experience as life changing. I learned more than I ever thought I could about my condition and along with that information, I was given the tools to successfully overcome my picking problem. It was extremely beneficial. I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone suffering from this type of behavior. This program is worth every penny and I am so thankful I went through with it. I have taken what I have learned and applied it to not only my picking problem but to several other areas of my life. Because of this program, my life and my outlook on life has improved significantly. I am very grateful for SkinPick and my therapist!
If you'd told me I'd be where I am now back at the beginning I would not have believed you. I have not engaged in serious picking for weeks - perhaps 5-6 weeks- and my hands have healed so that I don't have to hide them and am starting to feel normal. I still notice strong urges when under stress and am aware I have not been tested more seriously, but I am applying the strategies daily and am overcoming the urge to pick - even leaving loose pickable skin alone. I could not have done this without the CBT program and am very grateful.
This program has equipped me with several tools that I can use not only to decrease the amount of skin picking that I do, but also to become aware of and address the triggers that lead up to the skin picking. I love that this program focuses on changing the way you process your thoughts and instructs you on how to reframe them as well as focusing on the actual physical behavior. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who struggles with skin picking or similar behaviors. I have tried so many other things and I am happy to have finally found a program that helps now and will continue to help me for a long time to come.

Latest Client Reviews

When asking our clients for feedback, we ask these two questions:

  1. How do you sum up your experience with the program?
  2. Would you recommend it to others who suffer from excoriation disorder?

Here are the replies we get:

I would recommend the Skin Pick program to anyone fed up with the behaviour and who is willing to commit to themselves to having an honest look under the hood, to unpack what is happening in their lives, what their behaviour is trying to tell them, and be willing to give themselves compassion and acceptance, and willing to take even small steps toward healing. My life has been changed through this program and I am no longer a skinpicker because of understanding the reasons why I was doing it and changing those things.

Past client, finished the program in December 2020

The program is very well founded - and the only one of its kind for skin picking. It provided me with valuable tools and, moreover, I now have a much better understanding of my behavior and of myself as a person. My therapist has helped me identify many underlying issues. All of this is a good basis for reducing the behavior of skin picking. When using the the program you should make some weekly time for it.

1. My experience with SkinPick was phenomenal. My skin picking before this program had plagued me for over 10+ years, and through their program I have gained valuable knowledge and skills to help work through my urges and understand why I pick my skin. It was seriously a breakthrough! I now know and understand why I have the urge to pick, but now I have the tools to help me work through these feelings and put my energy to doing more productive things. I now spend a A LOT less time picking my skin than I ever did before this program. I seriously think this program has/is going to change my life and the way I look at picking my skin! 2. YES! I would absolutely recommend this program to someone who is also struggling with skin picking. It is seriously worth the money, as your therapist really helps you pull back the curtains and understand why this behavior is happening, and provides you with great tools to help overcome this. My therapist was great and always wanted to help and provide ways to aid me through this process that has been a habit for me for almost half my life. This program will seriously change the way you look at picking your skin, and help you work through the thoughts and feelings of skin picking so you can change the behavior. Anyone who has problems with skin picking should try this program!

Past client, finished the program in November 2020

My experience with the program was extremely positive. I learned many practical techniques for helping reduce the behavior and addressed many underlying issues from past experiences that I had never considered before. I've done in-person talk therapy with a licensed councilor before, and in my opinion this program was more beneficial because the prompts were very specific to skin picking and my skin pick therapist was extremely responsive. I would (and have already!) recommend the program to anyone struggling with skin picking.

A word from one of our clients

I have recommended this program to three estheticians. I hope that they will share it with people who compulsively pick. I think that many people suffer from this behavior privately and feel a great deal of shame about it. I want to tell them there is help available which is both accessible and affordable. Sharing this information with others has been helpful to me, reducing shame and cultivating willingness to openly acknowledge and address the behavior. I started this program because I was hurting. This program and the therapist brought healing, understanding, and compassion for my own suffering and that of others. There is a way to end the suffering caused by skin picking. I hope others will discover it and give themselves the gift of healing, self-forgiveness, and constructive action that can be found through this program. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
