Steven Cohen

Principal Organizer

Welcome! I'm Steven Cohen, a former business consultant with a Master's degree in social work. I work in DC, Maryland, and remotely.

Picking a personal organizer can feel overwhelming. Why choose me?

• Partnership: You are the expert on you: your goals, experiences, and what's worked for you in the past. We'll collaborate to find personalized solutions that you feel good about!
• Sensitivity: I care about your feelings, listen attentively, and welcome your feedback.
• Effectiveness: I have worked successfully with a wide range of clients. I bring creativity, experience, and skills to the table.​​

Note: I can't work in spaces with cat dander and cigarette smoke due to respiratory allergies--and am happy to help remotely!
​I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.

Clear pricing, honest value

I charge one hourly rate, which we will discuss and agree on before beginning your project​. My rate is shaped by the specifics of what you’re looking for: e.g., remote computer work vs. on-site organizing.

If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, I charge for two hours at the hourly rate we’ve agreed on.

Please contact me for information on sliding scales: I want organizing's benefits to be widely accessible.

You set the pace: we can proceed at whatever speed is comfortable for you. A space can be radically transformed in an hour—or we can take longer, especially for emotionally evocative items.
​
I have NO hidden fees:
​

• No minimum time or cost: I don't require you to commit to four or eight or 20 hours. If you want one hour, I can do one hour!
• No mystery price quotes: I don't issue a "project quote" that might run over on time or cost. I charge based on hours booked.
• No consultation fee: I offer a free, no-obligation phone consultation for any question!
• No kickbacks: I don't suggest particular products to get commission fees. I don’t try to sign you up for a specific closet design, rental storage, or other business. I have no incentive to get you to go shopping, and I put your needs first.​
