Our staff utilizes models nationally recognized as best practices developed by Dr. Randy O. Frost, Dr. Gail Steketee, Dr. David Tolin, Lee Shuer, Christiana Bratiotis, Metro Housing Boston (Jesse Edsell-Vetter), and Mental Health Association San Francisco. ​

Groups

  • Too Much Stuff? is a drop-in support group driven by group members' thoughts, challenges, and triumphs. The group, which is for anyone struggling with too many things, is designed to help members gain knowledge, tools, and support. Join United by Wellness to access this group at no cost. 
  • Buried in Treasures (BIT) Workshop is an intensive sixteen-week, action- oriented workshop centered around building long-term skills and strategies around hoarding disorder. The workshop is designed by Lee Shuer and Dr. Randy Frost to compliment the book, Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding (Tolin, Frost,& Steketee, 2nd ed. 2013, Oxford University Press). This is a closed group Check back for dates of the next BIT workshop.   For more information, please contact Emily McCall (emccall@mhanj.org) or Yvonne Tran (ytran@mhanj.org). 
  • We have offered in the past the Enough Stuff Family Support Group which is an open group that provides education, information, and mutual support for individuals related to a loved one who lives with hoarding disorder. We are working to bring it back hopefully in the near future. If you have a family member struggling with hoarding or mental health please see our IFSS page. 

Home Based Intervention

National best practice recommends interventions occurring in the environment where there are too many things, typically in the home. Home based services often consist of our team visiting for short periods of time. While in the home, our team coaches the individual through sorting possessions. All decisions and objects are handled by owners. Our team supports the individual in using an evidence-based sorting process to build lifelong skills.   
  Together, we'll work to declutter your space and ease the burden on your mind.
  • Our transparent pricing model for Atlantic County residents ensures that you know exactly what to expect. With that model in mind, our pricing falls at $500 per month for 4 weekly sessions.
    • Included with sorting and discarding sessions, use of the clutter image rating scale, HOMES scale (evidenced based scales found to help track progress and safety), as well as updated photos each week/month and a personalized plan designed to meet the unique needs of the individual.
  • We provide consultations and decluttering sessions in the individuals home, to plan your journey to a clutter-free home.
