We are excited to announce the launch of our flagship text-based online therapy program here on TrichStop.com. For years we have been serving the BFRB community by keeping abreast of the latest information and research regarding trichotillomania and other BFRBs. We have served many clients through these times in a variety of formats such as online counselling via skype, as well as the support of a community via our forum. In our interactions with clients we have learned that may clients, although they found skype or telephonic counselling helpful, there was still an element of inflexibility with both client and therapist needing to be present at the same time. Many clients also struggle to talk about their problem in a face-to-face setting.

After thorough research, we have now transitioned to a more effective format of treatment. The program structure and content is based firmly in proven CBT methods and is supported by our expert therapists. What sets this program apart from other online therapies is that it provides the flexibility for clients to work at their own pace and in any setting available to them, while still offering individualized professional therapist support. The cost of the program is also significantly less than traditional face-to-face therapy, yet it is rigorous and intensive. The program is designed to take a minimum of 8 weeks to complete, but is driven by the client's own pace and communication with the therapist is always available. It is our hope that this program will bring hope and relief to many trichotillomania sufferers out there. To find out more about the program and what it entails, browse through the information on our site.
