Hoarding
Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Hoarding behaviours are often connected to anxiety, grief, trauma, overwhelm, attachment, or difficulty making decisions. Therapy can help you explore the emotional meaning of possessions, reduce shame, and build gradual, realistic strategies for change. The goal is not judgment or pressure, but support, understanding, and practical movement at a manageable pace.

Hoarding
Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The objects we surround ourselves with often tell a story of seeking safety, comfort, or control. However, when your space becomes overwhelmed, it can lead to profound isolation and heavy shame. Your attachment to these belongings serves a purpose, and in our sessions, we will explore that without an ounce of judgment. Using specialized, highly practical tools, we will collaboratively untangle the intense anxiety and distress connected to letting things go. We will navigate this process together at a pace that feels genuinely safe for you, allowing you to gradually reclaim your physical environment and rediscover a sense of freedom and peace in your own home.

Hoarding
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Hoarding can feel overwhelming and isolating, often creating stress, clutter, and tension in your home and life. It may stem from difficulty letting go of possessions, emotional attachments, or patterns developed over time, and can impact relationships, daily functioning, and overall wellbeing.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore the underlying emotions and behaviors contributing to hoarding. Together, we focus on building practical strategies, emotional awareness, and gradual change, helping you create a safer, more organized environment while restoring confidence and control in your life.

Reegan Bushby
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hoarding tendencies can impact our daily living, and relationships with our loved ones. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for OCD tendencies that can relate to Hoarding tendencies. For other cases, I use a minimalist approach to living life. We will often focus on how our thoughts and the environment around us, impact our emotions and behaviours that might not be suiting us. Together, we will work towards your specific goals in order to create change in your everyday life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to connect with any questions you may have.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
