You might think you’ve encountered every situation in your practice, but nothing could prepare you for a client who confesses, “I think I have a hoarding problem.” This revelation can leave you stunned and concerned. While you pride yourself on being a capable therapist, this challenge feels different, and you realize that you may not possess the specific training required to effectively support clients grappling with excessive clutter and the deeper issues at play.

TL;DR:
Join me in Missoula, MT, on Friday, April 25, 2025, for an essential day-long training on the clinical treatment of hoarding disorder (HD). I am seeking approval to offer this training for continuing education hours.

Even specialists in hoarding can find that clients have hidden this serious issue for months! So, how do you effectively prepare yourself to support individuals who hoard? I am here to help you navigate this challenging terrain.

In 2025, one of my primary objectives is to deliver practical, introductory training on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of hoarding disorder in our region. I have tentative plans for this critical training session in Missoula, Montana, on Friday, April 25, 2025.

What can you expect to gain from attending this training?

I’m glad you asked!

Participants will dive deeply into the clinical diagnosis and assessment of hoarding disorder, exploring differential diagnosis and treatment planning through engaging, de-identified case studies. You will also engage in practical exercises designed to enhance your empathy and understanding of clients with HD. We will delve into key components of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for hoarding, integrating elements of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). Furthermore, we will discuss how to balance family and community needs and conclude with an interactive discussion on ethical decision-making—addressing the unique challenges you may face when working to help clients reduce their possessions.

This one-day training on HD is an invaluable opportunity to expand your skills and deepen your impact. Don’t miss out!
