Hoarding
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.

Psychologist, Psy.D
Hoarding Disorder can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, often creating overwhelming stress and anxiety. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we provide specialized treatment to help individuals address hoarding behaviors and work toward creating a more organized, fulfilling life. Our approach includes: - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to hoarding, and develop healthier decision-making skills. - Hoarding-Specific CBT: Focuses on reducing the accumulation of items, improving organization, and increasing emotional regulation when parting with possessions. - Exposure Therapy: Gradual exposure to decluttering situations to reduce distress and resistance to letting go of items. - Motivational Interviewing: Enhances readiness for change by exploring and addressing ambivalence about letting go of possessions. Through secure telehealth services, we can work with you to develop effective strategies, reduce clutter, and create a more manageable living space—wherever you are. With the right support, recovery from hoarding is possible.

Hoarding
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults affected by hoarding and difficulties with accumulation, including those who feel overwhelmed by possessions or by the impact this has on relationships, living space, and daily life. Hoarding is often connected to long-standing emotional patterns, attachment, loss, and attempts to manage uncertainty or distress.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand the meanings and protective functions that possessions may hold. Rather than focusing on removal or change as a starting point, the work centres on developing clarity about what is being held onto and why. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
