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.

Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Hoarding disorder counseling focuses on addressing the complexities of hoarding behavior, characterized by the excessive accumulation of items and the inability to discard them, leading to cluttered and unmanageable living spaces. This condition often has profound emotional, physical, and social repercussions. Our compassionate approach aims to understand the underlying causes of hoarding, alleviate its impact, and support individuals in reclaiming their environment and life.
Compassionate Approach to Understanding and Treating Hoarding Disorder
* Individualized Assessment: We start with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the extent of the hoarding behavior and its impact on the individual's life.
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Our therapeutic strategy often includes CBT to address the thought patterns and beliefs that fuel hoarding behavior, facilitating cognitive restructuring and behavior modification.
* Emotional Support and Processing: We provide a safe space for individuals to express and process complex emotions associated with hoarding, such as shame, anxiety, or grief.
* Skills Training: Clients are equipped with organizational and decision-making skills to help manage clutter, with a focus on gradual, sustainable change.
* Collaborative Clean-up Efforts: When appropriate, we support coordinated clean-up efforts, ensuring they're conducted in a sensitive and nonjudgmental manner, respecting the individual’s pace and emotional readiness.
Goals of Hoarding Disorder Counseling

Hoarding
Goody Counseling Services
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hoarding can be treated through the use of evidence-based Exposure Response Prevention. Alongside your clinician at GCS, you will identify the fears that you feel have contributed to hoarding, as well as the specific behaviors you want to change. Through the use of ERP, you will gradually be exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli, while not engaging in the usual compulsive response. You will work alongside your clinician to break the hoarding cycle.
