Effective, evidence-based CBIT and HRT therapy for tics, Tourette Syndrome, hair pulling, skin picking, and other BFRBs. Learn to manage symptoms and regain control. Comprehensive Behavioral Interventions for tics (CBIT) and Habit Reversal Therapy (HRT) for BFRBs Evidence-Based Treatment for Tics, Tourette Syndrome, and Compulsive Habits Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and Habit Reversal Training (HRT) are gold-standard, research-supported therapies for individuals living with tics, Tourette Syndrome, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) like trichotillomania (hair pulling), dermatillomania (skin picking), and nail biting. These therapies help individuals gain control over involuntary movements and repetitive behaviors—without judgment or shame—by teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms and increase awareness. At Compassionate Healing Institute, we offer specialized CBIT and HRT services for children, teens, and adults in a supportive and personalized environment. What Is CBIT? CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics) is a structured, evidence-based treatment for tics and Tourette Syndrome. CBIT builds on Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and includes multiple components that work together to reduce tic severity and improve quality of life. CBIT focuses on: Awareness training: Becoming more aware of the urge or trigger before a tic occurs Competing response training: Learning and practicing a behavior that is incompatible with the tic Function-based intervention: Identifying situations that worsen tics and developing strategies to modify them Relaxation and stress-management tools: Helping regulate emotional and physical triggers CBIT empowers individuals to gain better control over their tics without relying on medication. What Is HRT? Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is a behavioral therapy originally developed to treat tics and now widely used to treat Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) such as: Trichotillomania (hair pulling) Excoriation Disorder (skin picking) Nail biting and cheek chewing Thumb sucking or knuckle cracking HRT includes three core components: Awareness training: Recognizing the situations, emotions, or body sensations that trigger the behavior Competing response training: Practicing a substitute behavior that prevents the urge from becoming an action Motivation and support: Building insight, accountability, and family or peer involvement when helpful These strategies help individuals interrupt habitual behaviors and replace them with healthier coping mechanisms. Conditions We Treat with CBIT & HRT Our clinicians specialize in the treatment of: Tics and Tourette Syndrome Provisional tic disorder Trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) Excoriation disorder (skin picking disorder) Nail biting and other BFRBs Complex motor and vocal tics Tic-related anxiety or distress Co-occurring conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and anxiety disorders We work with children, teens, and adults, and our treatment plans are tailored to developmental stage, symptom severity, and personal goals. How CBIT and HRT Work Our treatment approach is structured, collaborative, and evidence-based. Therapy usually includes: 1. Assessment and Goal Setting We start with a thorough assessment of the tic or BFRB behaviors, their triggers, and impact. We’ll also explore co-occurring symptoms, such as anxiety or compulsions, to ensure holistic care. 2. Awareness and Tracking You’ll learn to recognize the early signs—known as premonitory urges or emotional triggers—that occur before the behavior, increasing your ability to respond rather than react. 3. Competing Responses We’ll teach and practice competing responses—specific physical actions that are incompatible with the tic or BFRB. These responses are practiced regularly and in real-life situations. 4. Environmental and Emotional Support We address the role of stress, environment, and habits in maintaining behaviors. Family members or caregivers may be involved to reinforce progress and reduce judgment or shame. 5. Skill Building and Relapse Prevention As symptoms improve, we focus on generalizing skills across settings and preparing for long-term success, even during periods of stress or transition. Why Choose CBIT and HRT? These treatments are: Backed by decades of research Non-medication-based approaches with lasting results Suitable for children, teens, and adults Highly customizable to individual needs and lifestyles Effective in in-person or telehealth formats Unlike traditional talk therapy, CBIT and HRT focus on behavioral change, skill development, and empowerment—not just insight. Are CBIT and HRT Effective? Yes—CBIT and HRT are considered first-line treatments by organizations like the Tourette Association of America and The Trichotillomania Learning Center (TLC Foundation for BFRBs). Many people experience: Significant reduction in tics or repetitive behaviors Improved emotional regulation and body awareness Better concentration and reduced shame or social withdrawal Increased confidence and quality of life When delivered by trained professionals, CBIT and HRT often lead to meaningful improvement in just 8–12 sessions. Supportive, Judgment-Free Care At Compassionate Healing Institute, we understand that tics and BFRBs are not just habits—they’re complex, often misunderstood conditions. We meet you with empathy, compassion, clinical expertise, and a plan tailored to your needs and goals. Start CBIT or HRT Therapy Today If you or your loved one is struggling with tics or repetitive behaviors, you don’t have to manage it alone. CBIT and HRT therapy can help you take control—gently, step by step. We offer in-person sessions and secure telehealth appointments. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing symptoms for years, our team is here to support your progress.

CBT-AR at Compassionate Healing Institute is a phase-based, evidence-based treatment for ARFID that uses exposure therapy and CBT strategies to expand food variety, reduce fear and sensory avoidance, and improve nutritional adequacy through compassionate, individualized care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) Evidence-Based Treatment for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder At Compassionate Healing Institute, we offer specialized CBT-AR (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) for children, adolescents, and adults struggling with ARFID. Our approach is structured, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based treatment while remaining flexible to neurodiversity, sensory needs, anxiety profiles, and medical complexity. CBT-AR is the first manualized, research-informed treatment specifically developed for ARFID and is designed to help individuals expand food variety, improve nutritional adequacy, and reduce fear, sensory avoidance, or lack of interest in eating. What Is CBT-AR? CBT-AR is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed specifically for ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). ARFID is not about weight or body image. Instead, it is characterized by restricted eating due to: Sensory sensitivities (texture, smell, taste, temperature) Fear of aversive consequences (choking, vomiting, nausea) Low interest or lack of appetite for eating Limited food variety impacting nutrition, health, or functioning CBT-AR directly targets these maintaining patterns using structured, individualized exposure-based interventions combined with cognitive and behavioral strategies. How CBT-AR Works at CHI: ARFID Healing Pathway The ARFID Healing Pathway at Compassionate Healing Institute is a structured, phase-based program using CBT-AR and exposure therapy to support individuals in expanding food variety, reducing fear and sensory avoidance, and improving nutritional adequacy. Treatment progresses through clear phases, from assessment and individualized planning to gradual, supported food exposures, within a collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming, and dietitian-integrated care model. Click here to learn more. Who CBT-AR Is For CBT-AR may be appropriate for individuals who experience: Extremely limited food variety Anxiety, disgust, or fear around eating Nutritional deficiencies or dependence on supplements Social or functional impairment due to eating restrictions ARFID related to sensory sensitivity, fear, or low appetite We also frequently treat ARFID in the context of: OCD and anxiety disorders Autism spectrum differences ADHD-related interoceptive differences Trauma or medical feeding history What a CBT-AR Session Looks Like CBT-AR sessions are structured, collaborative, and active. A typical session may include: Review of food exposure practice Collaborative planning of new food steps In-session exposure work (when appropriate) Cognitive strategies for fear or avoidance patterns Skills for managing sensory discomfort or anxiety Nutrition-informed goal setting with dietitian collaboration Parents or caregivers may be included in treatment when clinically indicated, especially for adolescents or individuals needing structured home support. Our Approach at Compassionate Healing Institute Our CBT-AR model integrates: CBT + Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) principles Nutrition therapy collaboration with ED-specialized dietitians Neurodiversity-affirming care Trauma-informed pacing and consent-based exposure work Family-based support when helpful (including SPACE-informed approaches) HAES-aligned, weight-inclusive treatment philosophy We do not approach ARFID as “picky eating.” We understand it as a legitimate and often neurobiologically influenced eating disorder requiring structured, compassionate intervention. What Progress Can Look Like Progress in CBT-AR is individualized and may include: Expanding accepted foods and textures Reducing fear-based reactions to eating Increasing nutritional adequacy Improving energy, concentration, and physical health Greater flexibility in social and family eating situations Reduced distress around mealtimes Change is gradual and built through repeated, supported learning experiences—not pressure or force. Start CBT-AR at Compassionate Healing Institute If you or your child is struggling with ARFID, we are here to help.

Discover what to expect for your loved ones care at Compassionate Healing Institute, including a clear step-by-step treatment process, evidence-based care, ongoing evaluation, and individualized support designed to help your loved one make meaningful, lasting progress. For Families and Loved Ones What to Expect at Compassionate Healing Institute What Families & Loved Ones Can Expect at Compassionate Healing Institute Supporting Your Loved One’s Healing Journey When someone you care about is struggling with OCD, or an eating disorder, anxiety or a related condition it can be hard to know how to help. At Compassionate Healing Institute (CHI), we believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation — families and loved ones play an essential role in recovery. Our team partners with you to ensure your loved one receives compassionate, safe, and evidence-based care while you also feel supported and informed along the way. Step-by-Step: The Family Experience at CHI Step 1: Free 15-Minute Phone Consultation Many families begin with a free consultation call to discuss concerns, ask questions, and learn about our approach. This call helps us: Understand what your loved one has been experiencing Offer guidance on whether traditional outpatient or intensive treatment is appropriate Review fees and payment options Explain how family members can be involved during treatment If CHI is a good fit, we’ll schedule an intake evaluation for your loved one, or for yourself to support your loved one. If a higher level of care (such as residential or PHP) is needed, we’ll connect you with trusted programs in South Florida to ensure your loved one’s safety and continuity of care. Step 2: Intake Evaluation The intake evaluation is an in-depth session (usually 60 minutes) where our clinician meets with you or your loved one — and in many cases, for the treatment of your loved one, you will be invited to give input when appropriate. During this stage, we: Learn about symptoms, behaviors, and life stressors Gather relevant history (medical, emotional, nutritional) Identify safety or medical concerns that may require higher-level monitoring Begin to outline treatment goals Families are encouraged to share observations and concerns, especially around eating, anxiety, or compulsive behaviors. Your insights often help us build a fuller picture of what’s happening day-to-day. Step 3: Treatment Planning & Family Communication Once the assessment is complete, we’ll meet with your loved one (and, if appropriate, family members) to review the plan of care. This may include: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family-based interventions SPACE -Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions SPACE for ARFID- Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions for Avoidance Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Nutrition therapy or meal support with our registered dietitian Neuropsychological Assessments We discuss frequency, structure, and how you can best support progress at home. Families are always welcome to ask questions and participate in education sessions to better understand OCD, anxiety, and eating disorders. Step 4: Active Treatment Phase As your loved one begins therapy, our team focuses on helping them face fears, rebuild self-supportive behaviors, and increase their confidence while expanding their lives. You can expect: Regular updates and check-ins (with your loved one’s consent) Guidance on how to respond to anxiety, compulsions, or eating-related distress at home Access to family sessions focused on boundaries, communication, and relapse prevention Our goal is to empower you with practical tools to support recovery, not to take on the role of therapist, but to create an environment that reinforces healing. Step 5: Coordination & Ongoing Support Sometimes clients need additional structure or medical support. If your loved one’s symptoms become more severe, we’ll collaborate with you and coordinate referrals to trusted IOP, PHP, or residential programs. When care is stepped down, we stay involved to maintain smooth transitions and continued progress. Step 6: Review, Taper, and Aftercare As treatment goals are met, sessions may taper from weekly to bi-weekly or monthly check-ins. We help families and clients create a long-term plan that includes: Relapse-prevention strategies Clear communication tools Resources for continued community or nutritional support Your involvement during this phase helps your loved one maintain accountability and confidence in their recovery journey. How We Support Families At CHI, we view family engagement as a key part of treatment success. We offer: Education about OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety Guidance on supporting recovery without reinforcing symptoms Family therapy or coaching sessions to address communication and boundaries Resource recommendations for parents and partners (books, workshops, community support groups) We believe that when families are informed and supported, outcomes improve — and everyone feels more hopeful. What We Ask of Families & Loved Ones Approach your loved one’s recovery with patience and compassion Keep communication open with the treatment team (with client consent) Avoid judgment or “fixing” — your presence and empathy are often the most powerful support Take care of yourself, too — recovery can be stressful, and your well-being matters If You’re Worried About Safety If you notice signs of medical instability, rapid weight loss, self-harm thoughts, or other red flags, please contact us immediately or reach out to emergency services. Our clinicians will help assess risk and ensure your loved one receives the appropriate level of care as quickly as possible. Ready to Learn More?

Supervision and consultation for clinicians who work with and are interested in supervision and consultation regarding the treatment of co-occurring eating disorders and OCD, clinicians of all levels of expertise and clinicians who are interested in increasing their skill set of Exposure and Response Prevention. Supervision and Consultation for Clinicians Treating OCD and Eating Disorders We welcome dietitians and therapists of all levels of expertise who treat OCD, and/or eating disorders and this diagnostic overlap. Supervision and Consultation At Compassionate Healing Institute, we believe clinicians deserve compassionate, evidence-based support when working with complex cases involving Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), eating disorders, ARFID, anxiety disorders, and related food and body image concerns. Through specialized supervision and consultation services, we help therapists, psychologists, dietitians, interns, postdoctoral fellows, and multidisciplinary providers build confidence and clinical effectiveness in treating these highly nuanced presentations. Whether you are new to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), looking to strengthen your work with eating disorders, or seeking guidance for challenging OCD and food-related cases, our team offers collaborative, practical, and neurodiversity-affirming consultation grounded in real-world clinical expertise. Specialized OCD & Eating Disorder Consultation Many clinicians receive limited training in the overlap between OCD and eating disorders. Symptoms are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or inadvertently reinforced through treatment approaches that are not designed for OCD-related food and eating fears. At Compassionate Healing Institute, our consultation services are designed to help clinicians: Differentiate OCD from eating disorders, ARFID, health anxiety, emetophobia, and related conditions Develop effective ERP interventions for food and eating fears Address reassurance seeking, compulsions, avoidance, and family accommodation Navigate treatment resistance and complex presentations Build exposure hierarchies tailored to eating-related OCD symptoms Integrate CBT, ERP, ACT, and compassionate care approaches Adapt treatment for neurodivergent clients, including autistic and ADHD individuals Support interdisciplinary collaboration between therapists, dietitians, psychiatrists, and families Increase confidence in treating co-occurring OCD and eating disorders We provide consultation that is both clinically rigorous and approachable, helping clinicians feel supported rather than overwhelmed. Clinical Supervision for Therapists & Mental Health Professionals We offer supervision and mentorship opportunities for clinicians seeking growth in: OCD treatment Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Eating disorder treatment ARFID treatment Anxiety disorders and phobias Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) Neurodiversity-affirming care Family-based and parent-supported interventions Ethical and compassionate exposure work Supervision may include: Case conceptualization Treatment planning ERP hierarchy development Review of stuck cases Countertransference and clinician burnout support Practice-building and specialty development Guidance on interdisciplinary care coordination Our goal is to help clinicians provide ethical, effective, and compassionate treatment while strengthening their own clinical voice and confidence. Who We Work With We provide supervision and consultation for: Psychologists Therapists and counselors Postdoctoral fellows Graduate trainees and interns Registered dietitians OCD specialists Eating disorder clinicians Group practices and treatment teams Schools and organizations seeking specialized training Services are available virtually for clinicians across the United States. Why Specialized Training Matters OCD and eating disorders frequently overlap, yet many traditional treatment approaches can unintentionally reinforce compulsions, rigidity, avoidance, or shame. Specialized consultation can help clinicians avoid common treatment pitfalls while improving client outcomes. At Compassionate Healing Institute, we are passionate about advancing accessible, evidence-based care for individuals struggling with OCD, ARFID, eating disorders, and food-related fears. We believe consultation should feel collaborative, practical, and empowering, not judgmental or intimidating. Meet Our Team Compassionate Healing Institute is a specialized multidisciplinary practice focused on OCD, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and ARFID treatment. Our team includes licensed psychologists, ERP specialists, and eating disorder dietitians with advanced training in evidence-based treatment approaches. Schedule a Consultation If you are a clinician seeking supervision, mentorship, or case consultation for OCD and eating disorder treatment, we would be honored to support your professional growth.
