I found the program to be very helpful, as it was my first therapy experience focused solely on skin picking disorder. My therapist was extremely responsive and helped me dig deeper beyond just the CBT prompts, and for the price the value is great compared to traditional talk therapy.

I do not know where to begin except to say that I feel so fortunate that I found Skinpick. I decided to continue after the 8 week program and cannot even begin to describe the change and growth I've experienced due to this program. It's so convenient. Complete the sessions at your own pace and wherever is convenient for you. I so appreciated being able to revisit what I wrote previously and the therapist's comments. With traditional counseling I always felt like I didn't retain as much of the information as I would have liked. At the end of the program you can download your sessions in PDF format because this stuff takes practice to stick! If you feel like you've tried everything and are ready to stop repeating the cycle, please sign up.

This program is very effective and comprehensive. My therapist not only addressed the skin picking behaviors, but very thoroughly worked with me on the underlying core issues associated with it. Not many therapists are trained and knowledgeable with this issue so it was refreshing to work with someone who knows their stuff! It's nice that it is self paced and thus can fit into your life with whatever schedule you may have. My picking has decreased substantially and I've learned things that I feel will increase my quality of life in general. Definitely recommend!

My experience with the program exceeded my expectations and gave me hope again that my picking would stop. The program and working alongside a designated therapist was very beneficial as it was one on one and you can work at your own pace. Not to mention whenever you felt ready. As someone who considers themselves an introvert, I found the online aspect of this program was also perfect.

I would 100% recommend this program to anyone who's looking for help with this kind of behaviour. In my opinion, I thought it was affordable and the structure of the program was easy to follow.

I hesitated to pursue therapy for quite some time, knowing that I needed it but unsure which issue to address. When I found Skinpick I was intrigued because it addressed one of my core issues that I don't think I would have had the courage to address in another therapy setting. I am very satisfied with my experience in this program and highly recommend it to anyone with a body focused repetitive behavior issue. The structure and self paced nature of the program, plus the one on one communication with the therapist, provide an excellent framework for making positive change in your life at a pace that you are comfortable with. Go for it!

Michaela Chatzimanoli , my therapist who worked with me to overcome my skinpicking urges, by using the program skinpicking has developed, has truly made a difference in my life for the better. i would definitely recommend this program to others suffering from something like i did.

Update: They asked me to update my review based on their effort. They replied a day later after my bank gave me their direct number and I left a vm on a number not listed on their website. They indicated it was my error for not seeing they bill monthly despite marketing a weekly rate, but none the less they did refund me. They are still insisting that I remove the part about an email for my acct going to a non-connected email address because they say it is impossible. They'd like that person's email, so I sent them the email address without the domain. I didn't not ask that person for the copy of the email as you can imagine a user of such a service wouldn't either nor would the other person, most likely also a user, wouldn't appreciate the breech. So they want to do right, they just will bill you monthly upfront and they still don't know how an email went to an email I didn't provide. I assume there is a data corruption issue and I hope they figure it out. The review was in an effort to compare services out there and this one came up as good but we didn't get the chance to review it and will leave it out rather than say more. I can say here that they are responsive through email, refunded the amount, but I did use a number to ultimately get a call back.
Original Review: Unfortunately if you go to this website, they start to reach out. They ask you and invite you to check it out, one week at a time. You agree to confirm your identity and sign up a week at a time with a grace period as always. WIthin a minute they don't email you but you get a charge from your bank for $200. To top it off, they will email a family member and let them know you signed up, most likely from their marketing database that is linked to you, but not because you gave them the email. As an article writer about online programs, this is one I didn't expect to be scammy. It looked legit. I assume the reviews are also paid for.

This program goes much deeper than just trying to control your skin picking; it gets at the root of why you are picking and helps you develop tools to manage stress and anxiety. As someone who has not gone to therapy before, I found the program to be incredibly enlightening and empowering. By having day-to-day conversations and feedback with my therapist, I was able to progress quickly but also move at my own pace. My therapist was very knowledgeable, patient, and helped me direct my path forward. If you are looking for a place to get help with your skin picking, this will put you on a path of improved well-being.

I would recommend the program... I learned the hard way and wasted a lot of years thinking that if my willpower was better, I would be able to improve by myself.

But I needed tools and support, and this is a reasonably affordable way of improving your skin massively. The lessons and exercises can be completed in a reasonable amount of time, and the feedback and instruction is prompt and useful. Like with most stuff in life, you get more out if you put in more.

So, if your attitude is “all in” and commit to doing
the assignments/exercises and openly share your feelings and thoughts with your therapist, you will be better for it and feel better that you are addressing this.

My skin has cleared up tremendously, and with the tools learned, I don’t feel the stress of skin picking being a dominant problem in my life going forward.

i've been picking for years and this is the only program that helped me. i tried working with other therapists and a coach online but i didn't get any results and frankly it was annoying to hear people say "it's just a habit, here squeeze a toy instead". in skinpick you get a therapist you work with and the one i got, dr miletic i think was his name was very patient with all my s*** and i'm sure that wasn't easy. i pick a lot less now, almost not at all. it works but it's not going to be easy.

This is an awesome program! It walked me through all aspects of my behavior, helped me identify the pros and cons of maintaining the behavior(s), and provided me with practical tools to modify and/or eliminate the behavior(s). Each session builds on the one before to create a path towards success. There are self assessments that illustrate gains made. But best and most importantly, I had daily one-on-one interaction with a licensed therapist who answered questions and provided meaningful feedback and support. With his help, I’ve achieved a significant decrease in undesirable behaviors and a noticeable improvement in the appearance in my skin. This program is well worth the investment on all levels!

This program is not a magic answer to your skin picking problems. It takes hard work to make individual progress and I'm still working toward my goals, but I now have the information, confidence, and helpful tools to make it happen. I do not regret spending the money - it was absolutely worth it - and I am very thankful that I stumbled upon this opportunity to become a better person!

This program was quite helpful for me and I learned some interesting insights about myself and the triggers to my skin picking. My therapist was very skilled at drawing these things out and it surprised me how effective this was done remotely via the session materials, online exercises, my responses and follow-up questions and answers. The program provided me with several techniques (some for immediate help and others for the long term) that has and will continue to help me. The mindfulness concepts that the program includes in depth are terrific. The program is well paced and I recommend taking the full time prescribed to allow for the very valuable one-on-one back and forth with the therapist.

An experience that will work with me forever! Michaela was so helpful and patient with me.

There aren't many programs available for us online and this is the best one. It gives you structure and a plan and a qualified psychotherapist to work with you and help you through the whole thing. Vladimir Miletic was assigned to me and he was both very kind and knowledgeable and I enjoyed our work together, he helped me deal with a lot of shame and guilt that I brought to our conversations.
Don't think of this as some sort of magical cure because it's not. It takes a lot of hard work and time but it works which in the end is the most important thing and that's why I recommend it absolutely. I had to sweat for it and work but it paid of for me.

I think this program is a good introduction to therapy and gives good tools to start working on self-growth. However, you need to be disciplined to get the most out of it. It's gonna put you in some uncomfortable situations where it will be way easier to skinpick to ease that discomfort, and that's the whole point. It's no magic recipe toward healing, it's a difficult process and I don't think that having the goal to be 100% skinpick free at the end of the program is realistic. But the whole thing is a very good first step toward healing.

An experience that will work with me forever! Michaela was so helpful and patient with me. Thank you for helping me understand about my condition.

I had problems with sticking to the program, maybe wasn’t focussed enough. I regard myself not a severe case, but a complicated one. One thing that is definitely easier for me now is accepting my present picking behavior, also because the program offered me a new perspective: the focus on my values and goals insted of my problems and symptoms. Nevertheless I still hope that I will be able to integrate the strategies I learnt in the program better into my daily life. The most important thing for me, to my opinion, is being aware, distancing myself from certain recurring thoughts and accepting bad feelings as a part of my life. Recently I discovered – and I think the program also hints at it – the pleasure of being thankful, as a source of happiness I expect much from. Thanks to this program I don’t feel alone with my picking problem anymore.
I recommend this program to everyone who wants to reduce or overcome their skin picking. It is rich, useful, has a good structure and the communication with the personal therapeutic assistant worked very well.

A very helpful programme that equipped me with the background knowledge, coping strategies and insight to help me to understand and finally deal with my problem. Highly recommended.
