Hoarding Therapists in Worcester, MA
The therapy journey can be hard. Working towards your own personal evolution and transformation can be scary. I personally have worked with countless professionals who made me feel like this journey was going to be impossible and hopeless, and it's for this reason that I know how deeply you need a guide you can trust, someone who will walk with you through this experience every step of the way and make it as simple as possible. At the end of the day, the person that can help you the most is the person you feel most connected to; the person you feel safe sharing with. My intention is to be that person for you.

Most people with emotional disorders such as OCD, anxiety and depression suffer for years before getting the help they deserve. As a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist, I specialize in treating emotional disorders with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is the gold standard treatment for OCD and related disorders (e.g., BDD, hair-pulling, skin-picking), anxiety (e.g., social, panic, phobias, GAD), and depression.

Not accepting new clients-waitlist- telehealth only! Hello! I’m Katie, and I look forward to supporting you. My specialty is working with adults who are struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I also enjoy supporting those dealing with other anxiety disorders and depression. OCD is often unrecognized for what it is, as it can take a lot of different forms. Some indicators are recurrent doubts about whether one has done a certain action or about who they are at their core, significant trouble moving past certain unsettling thoughts/urges, and having to do something a certain way to "make up" for unnerving thoughts/urges.

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.
