Hoarding Clients<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"> by <strong>Cristina Sorrentino Schmalisch, PhD, LICSW <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Professional organizers  can provide important help for clients who are getting mental health  treatment for hoarding. Very few mental health providers make home  visits and even those who do can usually only provide limited visits  (for example, once per month). Working with a professional organizer can  give clients critical hands-on help with their hoarded items. Ideally,  the professional organizer would contact the therapist and work with  them to help the client&#8217;s hoarding symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some professional  organizers have specialized training in working with hoarding or related  problems, such as chronic disorganization (CD). This specialized<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.challengingdisorganization.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD) <\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">provides  information about CD and trains professionals to work effectively with  this problem. However, CD is not the same as hoarding because a person  may be chronically disorganized without having hoarding (for example,  because of current depression or attention deficit disorder).  In  contrast, most people who hoard do have CD. The ICD provides contact  information for professional organizers with different levels of  expertise in working with CD (www.challengingdisorganization.org). <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.napo.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">The National Association of Professional Organizers<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> provides contact information for the broader group of professional organizers and also provides training opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;
