Online Therapy for Adolescents with Problematic Hair Pulling

The Psychology Department at Utah State University
is seeking adolescents (12-17 years old) that struggle with…

Trichotillomania
or
Problematic Hair Pulling

Does your adolescent pull out their hair?
Have they been unable to stop?

If so, they may be eligible to participate in a psychological intervention study provided over the internet via Zoom (similar to Skype). Participation requires no travel but it does require internet access as the intervention will be provided in your home over the internet. The study will involve 10, 1-hour treatment sessions over the course of 12 weeks. Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate in parts of the intervention and will be taught how to best help their child succeed. We will also briefly check in 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention. Participants may be assigned to a waitlist and begin treatment after 12 weeks.
