You will be receiving services from a licensed social worker, and as such, certain aspects of organizing may differ from those of professional organizers who are not dually credentialed. Sometimes the goals are simply to create a more organized space or a process to make your life easier or more pleasant. In those situations, our work together may be very similar to those provided by other organizers. Whether you need help de-cluttering your home, managing daily responsibilities, or organizing your office, I will use all the knowledge and skills I have as a social worker and as a professional organizer. While working side-by-side on your organizing goals, I may ask questions to better understand your thinking styles, the barriers you have encountered, or other issues that are keeping you from meeting your goals.

Individual therapy - I rely on a broad range of techniques, including but not limited to cognitive-behavioral (CBT), client-centered, solution-focused, and other integrative interventions. In psychotherapy, you can expect to learn about your moods, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. You will gain a better understanding of why you do what you do and learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. My specialties are depression, anxiety, AD-HD, and hoarding disorder.

 

Group therapy - I offer group psychotherapy for those struggling with chronic disorganization or hoarding behaviors. Dr. Barbara Jo Dennison, Ph.D., LISW-S and I designed and co-lead this 10-week psychotherapy group, Fresh Start. We screen all participants to put together what we hope will be a supportive, dynamic, and change-oriented process.

 

Complaints - If you have a concern or complaint about your treatment, please talk to me about it. I will take this seriously and respond with care and respect. If you believe that I’ve been unwilling to listen and respond, or that I have behaved unethically, you can contact the Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapy Board at:

CSWMFT Board
50 W. Broad St., Suite 1075
Columbus, OH 43215

We all need a little help sometimes, especially when our work with people ventures outside our comfort zones or skill sets. Whether you are a professional organizer working with a client with mental health challenges or more severe disorganization than you are comfortable, a therapist working with clients who are chronically disorganized or who hoard, or another professional who needs to learn more about mental health conditions or causes of disorganization, I can help you with the knowledge and skills I have as a social worker, psychotherapist, professional organizer, and small business owner, combined with previous experiences running a non-profit organization and working in quality improvement.

 

We conduct the consultation by phone calls or a HIPAA-secure platform such as Skype for Business, in person, or in the client's environment. (K2 Organizing, LLC will enter a non-compete agreement with you whenever there is direct client contact). Professional Consultation services are billed in 30 minute increments, so you pay only for what you use. Package rates are available.

Speaking engagements are customizable from one to six hours and can be delivered in person, over the phone, or via webinar. Recent topics include

  • The Many Faces of Hoarding (for behavioral health professionals)

  • The Many Faces of Hoarding and Trauma (for behavioral health professionals)

  • Paper Management

  • How Did I Get All This Stuff? And Now What Do I Do With It?

  • Organizing the K2 Way!

  • Hoarding and Chronic Disorganization

  • Lose the Stuff. Find Yourself.

  • Whose Stuff is it Anyway? Helping Someone You Love Declutter or Downsize

  • Treatment Strategies for Hoarding Disorder

Rates

You are invited to take advantage of a free, no obligation, thirty minute meet-and-greet (excluding psychotherapy). During this time, I will determine if I can help you, and you will determine if I am the right person to work with you. I do not take on new clients if I don’t believe I can help them, and if this is the case I will refer you to others who might be a better match.

This workbook will help you understand more about chronic disorganization and hoarding, evaluate your situation, and help you discover how your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences play a role. You will read the stories of others in similar situations and be guided through activities to help you “Rise Above Your Stuff".

These colorful cards are perfect for anyone who struggles to make decision about whether to acquire or discard something. The question prompts help you gather your thoughts and feelings to form a decision that is right for you.
