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.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
sing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with parents to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as feelings of guilt or frustration. We explore ways to build resilience, improve communication, and establish healthy boundaries, empowering parents to make confident decisions and create a fulfilling family life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and connected while navigating the endless demands of parenting.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support parents navigating the challenges of raising children and teens, including behavior concerns, emotional regulation, communication struggles, and family stress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to respond to certain behaviors, or looking to strengthen your relationship with your child, I offer practical, supportive guidance tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and nonjudgmental. I help parents better understand their child’s development, build effective strategies for structure and consistency, and respond to challenges in a way that fosters connection and trust. I also have experience supporting parents of neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD and autism, with a focus on creating realistic, sustainable support at home. My goal is to help you feel more confident, supported, and equipped in your role as a parent while building a calmer, more connected family dynamic.

Parenting brings both joy and challenge, and every stage comes with its own unique struggles (especially those teen years!). I understand the ups and downs of raising children and the emotional weight that can come with wanting to do it “right.” Whether you’re navigating communication, setting boundaries, or supporting your child through change, I offer a supportive space to help you find balance, strengthen connection, and parent with confidence and compassion.
