Chalmers, a regular on the A&E hit series “Hoarders,” assists clients who hoard possessions because of a trauma-based incident or depression.

Chalmers says he started his company 18 years ago after entering multiple homes while working as a paramedic and realizing a larger need to help people. He’s passionate about the psychological implications of the hoarding disorder and values the opportunity to assist clients who are looking to fill a void with possessions.
