How can I find information about treatment that is available for Hoarding?

Start here:  https://hoarding.iocdf.org/

    Find a Therapist
    There is a "finder" for the US, UK, Canada, Australia and other countries. Be sure to select 'Hoarding' as a filter for the Specialty Area:
    https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/treatment/how-to-find-the-right-therapist/

    Click on Find Help to find a therapist, support groups or other resources in your area:
    https://iocdf.org/find-help/

    Just enter your location, hit find, and scroll down to see what's available. After hitting Find, you can also click on "Hoarding" from the “Specialty” drop-down (filter) – and those with this specialty will be displayed.

NOTE for USA:  If you're concerned about paying for therapy: As funded and regulated by the federal government, every region in the USA has a community mental health center that provides therapy and psychiatric services to anyone, regardless of ability to pay. They offer a sliding fee scale (as low as $3 per visit) to help the uninsured. Use this link to find your local provider:
