A wonderful journey! My entire experience with Robert and Glei has been wonderful. They were more than therapist to me, just like old friends that I could talk my heart out. Both of them listen to you patiently without any judgements and make you feel at ease. My Trich free journey was of self - healing, discovery and most importantly of self - acceptance of who I am and capable of being. I wish Robert and Glei the very best of luck and hope they help many more like me.

So Thankful When I reached out to Robert and Glei in March, our 12-year-old son was completely bald on the crown and front of his head. We started the 90-day program feeling desperate and hopeless. After his first 3 sessions, our son began to gain control over his urges, and we started to feel hopeful. He just finished the program. His hair is filling in, he is feeling confident, and we are all tremendously relieved. Robert and Glei built a strong and positive rapport with our son (not the easiest thing to do with a 12-year-old boy!), helped him understand himself and his urges, and taught him how to take and maintain control. We are so grateful for their expertise and for the support that they provided for our son and us as parents throughout this process.

Absolutely Amazing experience! I give The Trichotillomania Relief Specialists 5 stars because their program is a game changer, life transforming really, and I would like for others struggling with BFRB's as my daughter was to experience the same as she did. Robert and Glei Mantell are an amazing team! Their vast understanding and knowledge of the root of Trichotillomania allows them to work with their clients with such compassion, patience and specially the necessary and right tools that make all the difference. For the first time my daughter felt heard and supported in a way that many other therapists couldn't do. After the sessions and all the tools that Robert and Glei gave her, we've seen a big transformation within weeks. My daughter is much more confident that she can beat this. She's been pull free (after pulling daily for over 5+ years). 10/10 recommend!

I had been struggling with trich for 11… I had been struggling with trich for 11 years and it had progressively gotten worse as my freshman year of college started. I didn’t believe anything could help me at this point, but i was desperate. Within the first two weeks my life had completely changed as I had maybe pulled 2 strands after my first meeting with them. Not only did my urges to pull completely change, I learned so much about myself and became the best version of myself due to their coaching. I highly recommend doing this program I promise it was the best decision I’ve ever made, coming from someone who did not believe it was possible to stop.

Coaches promote a mindfulness & "belief"-oriented approach to deep behavioral change — super effective When I was younger, I took (highly expensive) cognitive-behavioral therapy to address hair-pulling. It was insufficient and I relapsed; then I finally gave up. After 15 years of living with hair-pulling and assuming I might never quit, I found Robert & Glei (whose website seemed almost too good to be true), and signed up for their group coaching. Of the eight of us, the majority have entirely quit pulling (including one peer who'd been struggling for 50+ years) — with urges severely diminished or terminated altogether. Robert & Glei's focus is on reframing one's beliefs about oneself, one's willpower, one's motivation, one's agency, etc. Most of us had a "eureka, why didn't I think about it this way before?" moment: Robert & Glei really make the practice about reconceiving your relationship with yourself. Super empowering beyond just overcoming the hair-pulling! The mindfulness lessons are broadly applicable. Completely worth it.
