Hoarding
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Hoarding is not simply about clutter or a lack of organization. Possessions may become connected to safety, identity, memories, anxiety, loss, or fear, making decisions about them feel emotionally overwhelming. Shame and criticism often increase distress rather than create meaningful change.
I provide respectful, nonjudgmental support to help clients understand their attachment to possessions, tolerate difficult emotions, strengthen decision-making, and reduce acquiring or saving patterns. Progress is approached gradually and collaboratively to create a safer, more manageable living environment while honoring each client’s dignity, readiness, and sense of control.

Hoarding
Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with clients struggling with excessive saving, difficulty discarding, difficulty letting go, and the distress that can come with clutter. Treatment focuses on understanding the emotional and cognitive patterns behind these behaviors, building tolerance for difficult decisions, and making gradual, sustainable changes without judgment or pressure.

Hoarding
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Hoarding and clutter can make you feel uncomfortable in your own home and can create isolation and rifts in relationships. When hoarding and clutter are connected to anxiety, ADHD, trauma, loss or age related cognitive changes, it can be extra hard to sort through things and get organized. working with an experienced therapist helps you reduce overwhelm and strengthen practical decision making in order to release items that are no longer serving you, and create a functional, peaceful feeling living space. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from old patterns, and help you to reclaim the calm, happy life you deserve.
