Oregon — Local professional organizer Jan Lehman, owner of Can the Clutter®, will lend her skills in an upcoming episode of “Hoarders” on the A&E Network. Lehman joins up behind the scenes with the professional team of Matt Paxton, to document the struggles of an Oregon family working to overcome this debilitating and often-stigmatized disease.

“Being a part of the show was an outstanding experience. A&E not only cares about making an interesting episode, they truly want to help the family learn new ways to live a more productive and clutter free life” says Lehman. “Along with providing a huge team to help over a two day period
they provide “aftercare” which includes ongoing help by a professional organizer and a mental health professional. My role during the filming of the show was to earn the family’s trust so they would want to continue to work with me after the camera crews had left.” Says Lehman who has employees to assist her with large jobs like this.

In addition to being an expert on ‘Hoarders,’ Matt Paxton is the owner of Clutter Cleaner and author of The Secret Lives of Hoarders. He offers this advice to others looking for organizing help. “Just spent a whole weekend working with Jan Lehman from Can the Clutter®. She is amazing! If you
need help with your clutter give Jan a call,” said Paxton.

As a professional organizer, Lehman provides an invaluable service to time-crunched home and business owners. She assists clients with all different levels of disorganization, not just individuals who find themselves in extreme situations.

Lehman started Can the Clutter® as a way of helping others overcome their organizing issues. Her ultimate goal is to reduce the stress level and improve the productivity of the individual by providing self-sustaining personalized solutions. Lehman works with all demographics to solve their organizational issues – business owners, professionals, men, women, seniors, stay at home parents and even children. She is a Member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO)®.

Lehman works closely with her clients to truly understand the root cause of their disorganization. “It is interesting how we all struggle with different aspects of being organized. It is not always a cookie cutter answer to solve the problem. The piles may look similar, but understanding why they started and coming up with a personal solution that the client will truly engage with is key to solving the problem in the long run”, says Lehman

Lehman continues “I love my job and get a lot of satisfaction in helping others take action against a sometimes overwhelming and daunting task. My clients are always so thankful for my patient and non-judgemental approach. Although I’m no push over, part of my success is that I keep them focused and on task so the job actually gets done.”

The episode of Hoarders with Lehman will air Monday, November 7th, on A&E. For more information on the benefits of getting organized and how Jan Lehman can help, please visit the Can the Clutter® website at www.cantheclutter.com.
