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.

Hoarding
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
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.

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.

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
