If you or someone you love is struggling with hoarding disorder in New York City, you are not alone — and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. New York City has a range of resources available for people affected by hoarding, from mental health services to physical cleanup support.
Mental Health Resources for Hoarding in NYC
NYC Well
NYC Well is a free, confidential mental health support service available 24/7. They can connect you with mental health services, including therapists who specialize in hoarding disorder. Call 888-NYC-WELL (888-692-9355) or text “WELL” to 65173.
NYC Health + Hospitals
NYC Health + Hospitals provides mental health services on a sliding scale across all five boroughs. Their behavioral health programs can provide assessment and referral to appropriate care for hoarding disorder.
The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF)
The IOCDF maintains a database of therapists who specialize in OCD and hoarding-related conditions. Their website (iocdf.org) can help you find a qualified therapist in NYC who understands hoarding disorder.
Adult Protective Services (APS)
If an elderly or vulnerable adult is at risk due to hoarding, New York City’s Adult Protective Services can provide assessment, case management, and coordination of services including hoarding cleanup. Contact NYC APS at 212-630-1853.
Social Workers and Case Managers
Many NYC community organizations employ social workers who work regularly with hoarding situations. If your loved one already has a social worker or case manager, involving them in the cleanup process can make a significant difference. At Hoarding NYC, we regularly work in coordination with social workers and APS case managers.
Physical Hoarding Cleanup Support
When you’re ready for the physical cleanup component, Hoarding NYC provides compassionate, confidential hoarding cleanout services across all five boroughs and Nassau County. We work at your pace, in coordination with whatever professional support team is involved, and with complete respect for the dignity of everyone involved.
Call us at (646) 837-5222 — everything is confidential, and there’s never any pressure.
