Hoarding Therapy
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Hoarding disorder therapy focuses on addressing the complexities of hoarding behavior, characterized by the excessive accumulation of items and the inability to discard them, leading to cluttered and unmanageable living spaces. This condition often has profound emotional, physical, and social repercussions. Our compassionate approach aims to understand the underlying causes of hoarding, alleviate its impact, and support individuals in reclaiming their environment and life.
Compassionate Approach to Understanding and Treating Hoarding Disorder
* Individualized Assessment: We start with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the extent of the hoarding behavior and its impact on the individual's life.
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Our therapeutic strategy often includes CBT to address the thought patterns and beliefs that fuel hoarding behavior, facilitating cognitive restructuring and behavior modification.
* Emotional Support and Processing: We provide a safe space for individuals to express and process complex emotions associated with hoarding, such as shame, anxiety, or grief.
* Skills Training: Clients are equipped with organizational and decision-making skills to help manage clutter, with a focus on gradual, sustainable change.
* Collaborative Clean-up Efforts: When appropriate, we support coordinated clean-up efforts, ensuring they're conducted in a sensitive and nonjudgmental manner, respecting the individual’s pace and emotional readiness.

Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
I have worked successfully with several hoarders. All of them were trying to resolve issues that couldn't be resolved, attempted solutions to problems and situations that ceased to exist long ago - but the unconscious part that wants to hoard does not realize that and the thinking and behavior continue. I work with that "part" of you - we find out what it REALLY wants and give it, and you, THAT.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
I see several hoarders in therapy (and sometimes supportive family members) and help hoarders organize their lives so that they are able to deal with the clutter that holds them back from leading a functional existence. The pandemic has afforded more time to devote to projects, which were
Avoided in the past. Some attend my regular free Zoom seminars and find them helpful. Please feel free to call me for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Hoarding Therapy
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in hoarding disorder, my treatment approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to the individual's unique needs. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work with clients to explore the underlying beliefs, emotions, and behaviors driving hoarding tendencies. By gently challenging distorted beliefs about possessions and facilitating gradual exposure to discarding items, we develop coping skills to manage urges and reduce clutter. Additionally, I emphasize skills training in organization, decision-making, and emotional regulation to support long-term maintenance of progress. Collaborating with clients, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment to foster insight, motivation, and sustainable change. My goal is to empower individuals to reclaim control over their living spaces, improve quality of life, and cultivate healthier relationships with their possessions.
