Our Story
Born from empathy, built for impact.
Kindli Movers was founded on a simple truth: moving is never just physical. Whether you're downsizing after a lifetime in one home, supporting an aging parent through a transition, or navigating a loved one's hoarding disorder — the emotional and mental weight can be just as heavy as any box.
As a Registered Nurse, our founder Kathleen Reyes saw firsthand how the healthcare system left millions behind — especially those struggling with hoarding disorder. She built Kindli to fill that gap: a company that combines the compassion of caregiving with the practicality of professional moving services.
We partner with certified mental health professionals, social workers, and healthcare teams to ensure you never have to navigate this alone.
Kathleen Reyes
Founder & CEO · Registered Nurse
"The clutter is a symptom. The person is the patient. When we center dignity in every interaction, real healing becomes possible. Kindli was built to prove that moving — in every sense of the word — can be an act of love."

Understanding Hoarding Disorder
A compassionate, jargon-free introduction to what hoarding disorder really is — the science, the stigma, and the path forward. Great for clients and families alike.
Connect with others who truly understand. A moderated, private online forum for sharing experiences, asking questions, and building mutual support in a judgment-free space.
Learn how to be a supportive presence without enabling or escalating tension. Structured education modules on how to navigate this with your loved one.
A curated directory of local mental health services, social workers, adult protective services, and partner organizations serving the Bay Area community.
Validated screening tools (PHQ-9, Saving Inventory-Revised) in plain language — to help you understand where you or your loved one stands, privately and without pressure.
A gentle guide to recognizing when home safety, mental health, or relationship strain signals it's time to reach out — and exactly how to take that first step.
What it is, what it isn't, and why the stigma hurts more than the clutter.

The crisis the healthcare system refuses to see.
14 million Americans live with hoarding disorder. SAMHSA runs no dedicated programs. The first Senate report was released only in 2024. Our learning center brings this hidden crisis into the light — with science and compassion.
92% of people with hoarding disorder carry additional diagnoses
A landmark finding from the Journal of OC & Related Disorders that changed how we approach integrated care.

Partnership Opportunities
Who we partner with.
🏥
Health Systems
Integration partnerships with hospitals, FQHCs, and community health centers to embed screening and referral pathways into existing workflows.
🧑⚕️
Mental Health Professionals
Licensed therapists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and social workers who believe in integrated, compassionate care for hoarding disorder.
🏛️

Advocacy partnerships with local and federal agencies to develop the first national hoarding disorder program framework and dedicated funding stream.
💰

Seed funding to launch pilot programs, develop technology infrastructure, and publish first-year outcomes data in 2–3 target Bay Area communities.
🏘️

Senior centers, faith organizations, legal aid societies, and peer networks who reach the communities most affected and most underserved.
📰
Media & Advocacy
Journalists, advocates, and public educators committed to reducing the shame and stigma that keeps millions from seeking the help they deserve.
A whole-person approach — flexible enough to meet you wherever you are in your journey. No judgment. No pressure. Just forward movement.
The Program Journey
A structured pathway — flexible enough for you.
Entry can happen at any stage. A person in housing crisis enters at Stabilize. A self-referral enters at Assess.
01
Identify — Community Outreach & Early Detection
We partner with building inspectors, senior centers, home health aides, and primary care providers. Community health workers are trained to recognize early signs and connect people to support before a crisis develops.
Community-based · Stigma-free
02
Assess — Psychiatric + Safety Screening
Using validated clinical tools (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS), we screen for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD at intake. Results directly inform your individualized care plan — administered with care, not as a checklist.
Licensed clinicians · Whole-person view
03
Stabilize — Harm Reduction & Crisis Support
Behavioral change is impossible without basic safety. We assess in-home fire hazards, fall risks, and utility access — then provide practical support to restore kitchen, bathroom, and exit functionality. Trust comes before transformation.
No forced cleanouts · Safety first
04
Treat — Specialized CBT + Integrated Care
Standard CBT doesn't work for hoarding disorder. Our tailored approach covers decision-making, emotional attachment, gradual discarding, and relapse prevention — delivered individually, in groups, via peer support, or virtually.
Evidence-based · Multiple modalities
05
Sustain — Relapse Prevention & Peer Support
Recovery is chronic. Personalized maintenance plans with check-ins at 30, 60, 90, and 180 days post-treatment. Peer mentorship pairings. Clear re-entry protocols so no one falls through the cracks.
Long-term support · Community anchored
Ready to take the first step? We'd love to meet you.
There's no wrong time to reach out. Whether you're ready to start, still exploring, or reaching out on behalf of a loved one — this conversation is just that: a conversation. No commitment required.
