Hoarding Therapists in Edmonton, AB
Choosing to embark on a therapeutic journey is no minor step. It demands a mix of emotions, time, and finance. More than anything, however, it requires courage. When someone musters the strength to seek help, it's not merely for the sake of talking. They are looking for a professional who is fully invested in their wellbeing.I deeply believe in the inherent potential every individual possesses to effect positive change in their lives. My mission is to equip you with the skills and tools necessary to realize that change. My focus is on adults, including (but not limited to) Veterans, First Responders, and those recovering from MVA.

I work with clients and their personal challenges with care, warmth, compassion, and curiosity. We explore the barriers that hold you back from having the life you desire. My focus is to guide you towards a deeper level of change. We do this by exploring the patterns keeping you stuck, beliefs that limit you, and thoughts that cause you distress. Often these patterns are rooted in the past due to early attachment, developmental, relational and shock trauma. Processing these experiences in a safe therapeutic relationship, allows us to heal the past and move to a place of authenticity, integrity, and satisfaction in our lives.

I work with individuals navigating grief, loss, uncertainty, CPTSD, life transitions, and those experiencing depression and sadness. After sessions, people have shared they feel calm, inspired, connected, confident and have a deeper sense of awareness and clarity.
Together, we work towards transformation at your pace, in a way that honours your whole self. As a starting point, we will connect in and attune with the body, building awareness around your 'felt senses' while mapping emotional patterns. Our main focus is to build awareness around what is happening for you while finding the tools that will help you feel better.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...

Hey! Glad you're here. I'm Jilynne, a radically honest psychologist who appreciates humor & swearing (if you're into that). Therapy with me looks a little less like a stiff office conversation and a little more like an honest, thoughtful space where you can actually breathe.

My approach focuses on helping clients understand why certain patterns developed in the first place, and using that understanding to create meaningful change in the present.

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.
How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.
Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.
Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
