Reaching out to a professional for help takes courage, and the challenge is even greater for those affected by chronic disorganization. Many efforts have already been made to improve basic functionality without adequate and lasting success.

Discouragement may have set in.

It may take time to analyze, understand and effectively address client challenges; therefore, a longer-term client-professional relationship offers great value.

In addition, because chronic disorganization has a tendency to recur, attention to ongoing maintenance is key.

An established and positive client-professional relationship can provide support on an as-needed basis.
