Hoarding, gross filth cleanup and the removal of trash and debris from a hoarding site, typically involves cleaning the building or residence that a reasonable person would find uninhabitable. Often this is due to a combination of filth and debris from hoarding, fecal matter, excessive trash, expired food, odor, boxed items, mold, mildew, etc., these extreme situations often require the services of trained professionals. The task of cleaning an area of gross filth, often referred to as hoarding cleanup, can be challenging and often impossible for an individual untrained in decontamination and odor removal. Our technicians are trained in locating and safely eliminating mold, mildew, asbestos and fecal matter can contribute to serious illnesses if proper precautions are not taken while cleaning a gross filth or hoarding site.

Dr. Daniel Eskenazi

622 W 168th St., Ph130
New York, NY 10032

T: 212-305-8075

My practice is directed towards adults suffering from various symptoms that may include any or all of the following: trouble sleeping, over-worrying, intense sadness that interferes with the ability to get through the day, intense euphoria that can lead to impulsiveness and poor decision-making, impairments in attention leading to distraction and inability to organize and focus, struggles with substance use, difficulty understanding reality and making sense of different visions and voices and trouble maintaining meaningful relationships and finding a sense of purpose in life. Perhaps you already work with a provider in talk therapy and are considering medications.
As a medically-licensed general adult psychiatrist I am able to help you by first understanding why you are coming into treatment, then making a diagnosis, and finally working with you to create a treatment plan that may involve medications, talk therapy and coordinating your care across providers.
My approach is to personalize best-practice evidence-based psychiatric care for each individual. This may involve genetic screens for medication optimization (i.e. pharmacogenomics), referrals for blood work, head-imaging and other tests. I am open-minded towards complementary and alternative practices such as meditation, yoga and nutraceuticals.

Founded in 1982, the Anxiety Disorders Clinic was the first in the nation devoted to research and treatment of anxiety problems. Although the idea that anxiety could take the form of specific disorders had been increasingly recognized, little systematic information about these disorders was available at the time. The clinic has been a driving force behind the recent advances in the recognition, understanding, and/or treatment of anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder(link is external), panic disorder, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and others. Our counterpart Hispanic Clinic offers research treatment in Spanish and is a valuable asset in the community.

The OCD research program is dedicated to the mission of improving the lives of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders by conducting cutting edge research to transform how we understand and treat these disorders. For the patients of today, we examine how to combine and sequence current treatments to maximize outcome, and we explore novel treatments. For the patients of tomorrow, we collaborate with experts in neuroimaging, genetics, and basic science to examine what causes obsessions and compulsions.

There is no reason to feel embarrassed, we have performed many hoarding cleanup jobs from Level one to Level five. We will work within your budget and at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Hoarding is characterized by the accumulation of large amounts of items that can make a home unsafe and no longer a viable living space. With this level of content accumulation, there are inherent dangers that may exist in the living space which require trained professionals to assess and treat the area.

Hoarding can also be associated with animal waste, human waste and in some cases, decomposition. Gross filth can contain a variety of pathogens capable of causing physical illness and sometimes even death. Complete remediation and restoration of these areas can be a difficult and time consuming task. Island Trauma Services technicians are trained to handle these situations. Protecting you and your family is our primary concern. We make every effort to preserve salvageable items and always work in a compassionate, discreet and professional manner.

When a water event is not dealt with in a timely fashion, it may result in a mold condition. Mold can grow on organic or cellulosic material such as sheet rock, wood, paper or cardboard (particularly in a warm and moist environment). Aside from its unpleasant odor, mold can have an adverse effect to your health and respiratory system. With Applied Microbial Remediation training, the team at Island Trauma Services are trained to eradicate mold damage the right way.  Proper mold remediation techniques include the use of Air Filtration Systems, High Efficiency Particulate Air Vacuuming and even pre and post remediation air testing to qualify results
