It Is Going To Be Okay: 

" We know the solution is not as simple as going in, cleaning-up and then simply pushing reset.  There is a magnitude of emotions involved for people who are disorganized excessive collectors, and those with formalized Hoarding Disorder. There can be fear & grief when deciding to let go of things, and feelings of anger & violation when personal items are arranged by others.  As professionals we understand it is not the person's compulsive thoughts to keep & collect things that creates their greatest upset.  Instead, it is when their dysfunctional thinking is challenged and interventions are initiated that the individual's distress can be at its greatest. For this reason our Fresh Start therapeutic approach is empowering, not disabling.  We work together with our client, demonstrating care and compassion always.  We create spaces together that are functional, prioritized, and safe.  For example items of importance previously buried or broken can be restored and reclaimed back to the forefront of their life.  We aim to create a sense of control & gain around the changes, not embarrassment, loss or resentment"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Caroline Maurice
