Welcome! I'm Steven Cohen, a former business consultant with a Master's degree in social work. I'm Streamlined by Steven's principal organizer.
Picking a personal organizer can feel overwhelming. Why choose me?
- Acceptance: I value you, as you are. I work with your existing preferences, supporting how you want to live.
- Customization: I value each client’s individuality and will work with you to find personalized solutions.
- Affordability: I deliberately price below what is typical for the DC area and offer sliding scale discounts in cases of financial need. I believe in making the benefits of organization widely available!
- Partnership: I view our work together as fundamentally collaborative. You are the expert on you: your goals, experiences, and what's worked for you in the past.

"My husband and I have had great success enlisting the help of a professional organizer [Steven] to assist in making sense of our respective home offices.
Imagine our surprise, however, when our sons started asking if Steven ... could please come and help them with messes in their own rooms...
So Steven came on a Sunday and spent an hour with each of our children. And it was like watching a miracle worker..."

Clear pricing, honest value
I charge one hourly rate: $60 per hour. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, I charge for two hours worth of work ($120).
I believe in my services and want them to be affordable for a wider range of budgets.
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:
Please contact me with any questions!

I have NO hidden fees:
- No minimum number of sessions: I don't require you to commit to four or eight or 20 sessions. If you want one session, I can do one session!
- 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 consult fee: I offer a free phone consult and a free in-person consult at the site you'd like to organize!
- No transport fee: I don't charge for time in transit or mileage to your site.
- 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.
- No caginess around pricing: I don't delay offering a price until after I've seen your space, or charge more based on how much it seems you can pay.
