In addition, I have experience in and can provide support for those who are experiencing hoarding problems.
I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy underpinned by my theoretical perspective, CBT. It’s present focused, utilizing mindfulness practice as an adjunct strategy. My training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy allows me to provide skills based options when needed. Having experience with trauma therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, rounds out therapy options.

In order to fine liberation, in regard to any particular issue you are currently experiencing, one must bridge and synchronize the subconscious mind to the conscious mind, and that's where Hypnotherapy can be a highly effective tool. Mina's approach is to hold a loving space for you, while helping you reach a place of deep knowing, so that you can recognize the blockages that are buried inside your subconscious mind, move them through your analytical filter, release, rewrite, and create a bridge, where you can harmonize your subconscious programming, with your conscious decision. Once the bridge is built, liberation is experienced.

Do you feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts/images or unrelenting anxiety? Are you constantly seeking reassurance or performing rituals to feel better? You may be experiencing OCD or an Anxiety disorder. These disorders operate on what we call the Vicious Cycle: 1) encounter trigger or obsessive thought/image 2) experience distress 3) engage in compulsions or safety behaviors, which leads to 4) relief. The frustrating part about this cycle is that the relief is short-lived. Before you know it, the intrusive thoughts/images and compulsions are back, taking up more time and mental resources to cope.

Hoarding Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.
How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.
Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.
Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
