Q. My daughter is 15 years old and suffers from trichotillomania.  I have heard wonderful things about your practice and your treatment for this disease. Can you recommend a doctor closer to my home in WV?

A. The best way to locate a good homeopathic practitioner in your area is to visit the website of the National Center for Homeopathy which is located in Alexandria VA. The web address is www.homeopathic.org. The National Center for Homeopathy is an excellent resource for any kind of information about homeopathy. The website has an extensive directory of all levels of practitioners in the various states, with their qualifications and any additional information about their areas of specialty. In general for the treatment of trichotillomania, you do not necessarily need an MD. You just need a good and experienced homeopathic practitioner. You will find many such practitioners in the National Center directory.
