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
ThriveWell Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW / RP
If you or a loved one needs hoarding support, you don’t have to try and figure out how to manage things on your own. Chances are, you’ve tried to do that in the past and it hasn’t worked. It can be hard to reach out and ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone, and you deserve real understanding and support as you take this next step in life. ThriveWell counsellors can work with you virtually, in the office and/or at your home. We provide services for hoarding and clutter online, throughout Ontario, as well as in-home services throughout the GTA, from Mississauga to Bowmanville and Toronto to Uxbridge.

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.

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
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Hoarding often reflects an unhealthy attachment rooted in unmet needs. In therapy, by providing a safe and fulfilling therapeutic relationship, the part of the self that was never fully attached can find its needs met. This allows the unhealthy attachment, to objects or behaviors to naturally drop.

Hoarding
Satvinder Khurme
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hoarding is a serious illness connected with excessive collection of items combined with the inability to discard them. It is very hard to detect the problem making the treatment very challenging. Intensive treatment can help the person to overcome the issues and enjoy life.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
