Working with hoarding requires special training and experience, which I have through The American University and the National Institutes of Health. While it may seem overwhelming, it can be managed if we work on it together.

Cindy Haines, Psy.D
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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
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.

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.
26 Years Experience

Huntsville is one of the most economically anomalous cities in the American South — anchored by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the US Army's Redstone Arsenal, and a massive aerospace and defense industry cluster — creating a highly educated, well-compensated population with therapy demand centered on high-stakes career stress, security clearance-related anxiety, and the unique pressures of working in national security-adjacent roles. The city has grown dramatically in recent decades, attracting transplants from across the country, and therapists frequently address the social isolation and adjustment challenges of a fast-growing city where community roots are shallow for many residents. Huntsville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Huntsville's unusual demographic profile — high concentration of STEM professionals, veterans, and military contractors — gives its therapy community a distinctive character compared to other Southern cities of similar size.
