David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
Have you ever talk to someone who made the statement that “when I grow up I'll never parent my children the way my parents parented me?" David, after helping to raise 4 children, created a program to help parents create healthy relationships with their children...of any age.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support parents who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, reactive, or uncertain about how to navigate the challenges of parenting. Together, we explore how your own childhood experiences, attachment patterns, beliefs, and nervous-system responses may influence the way you respond to your children, particularly during moments of stress or emotional intensity. My work helps parents develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and compassion for themselves while learning to respond to their children from a more grounded and connected place. The goal is not to become a perfect parent, but to build a more secure, attuned relationship with your child while also healing the parts of yourself that may be activated through the parenting journey.

Maureen Karol, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I have worked most of my career with families and the varying dynamics that go along with that population. I truly enjoy working with parents on how they can be more consistent, supportive and open minded. Parenting, like everything else, takes practice and I view myself as a coach to help the process along.

Dr. Brittany Mathews
Psychologist, PhD, LP, APIT
As a child and adolescent clinical psychologist, I specialize in helping parents navigate the complexities of supporting their children through emotional and behavioral challenges. I work closely with parents to provide practical strategies and guidance for managing issues such as anxiety, depression, and social difficulties, empowering them to foster a supportive, understanding environment at home. By offering psychoeducation, developing effective communication tools, and addressing parenting concerns, I help parents build the skills they need to strengthen their relationship with their child and create a nurturing space for emotional growth and resilience.
