Lightening the Load Counseling, PLLC

Counseling for those with hoarding behaviors, or those who have been impacted by a loved one’s hoarding, via telehealth in the State of Washington.

(Currently accepting new clients to my waitlist only.)

Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy

    Individual Counseling

    Counseling is a collaborative process between the therapist (social worker) and the individual experiencing unwanted symptoms related to high clutter/hoarding, stress, anxiety, trauma,  and/or OCPD (perfectionistic personality disorder). To be added to my waitlist, schedule a free 15-minute discovery call to determine if I’m a good fit for your needs by emailing me.

    Family Therapy

    Family counseling is a multiperson strategy for understanding and supporting our loved one as they make changes and work through mental health challenges. Family counseling is helpful when the identified patient’s (IP) symptoms cause significant distress throughout the family system. With the feedback from others living with the IP, we can reduce accomodation and support system health and not just individual health.

    I’m happy to offer family therapy to couples (not premarital or marital therapy) and to families where all members are adults.

    NOTE: Insurance often covers family therapy when the IP is present in the session, but not when they are not. I’m happy to facilitate private payment in cases when family therapy without the IP present is warranted. 

    To be added to my waitlist, send me an email to schedule a free 15-minute discovery call to determine if I am a good fit for your needs.

    Professional Consultation

    With over a decade of working in the community with individuals, families, and agencies to address hoarding behaviors, I am passionate about supporting new therapists and those who are expanding their practice to include hoarding disorder treatment.

    Cecilia “Ceci” Garrett, MSW, LSWAIC

    I became a clinical social worker because I had seen the positive impacts that mental health providers provided my family and myself. I decided to specialize in work with individuals and families impacted by hoarding disorder (HD) as a result of lived experience and the challenges of finding providers with experience and skill to work with this rewarding population.
