Mental Health Healing

A free clearinghouse offering information about organizations and individuals that can help you heal in so many different areas of your life during these challenging times. Join us!

The Mental Health Crisis in this country and this world is real!

And, it affects every area of life, as you will see below…. Just think about this:


Number one. NBA star, Ben Simmons, was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets, and recently during an interview he said that, “he was struggling with mental health issues for quite a while, and is now getting the help needed to heal.”


Number two. Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, became the face of the mental health crisis in the world, when she had to drop out during the Olympics.


Founder, David Essel, M. S., O. M. For the past 43 years has dedicated his life as a counselor, number one best-selling author, mental health advocate, Addiction health advocate, master life coach, who not only experienced his own challenges personally, but has been involved in helping millions of people during this period of time to heal.


David struggled for 30 years with addictions and at the same time unknowingly, was battling undiagnosed depression, anxiety, ADD as well as ADHD.


After a failed suicide attempt in 1990, he has dedicated the rest of his existence to lifting people from the depths of despair to help, encourage, self love and healing.


As you will see below, this organization has been founded for the purpose of reaching out to millions of people in United States of America as well as the world, and sharing our page as a clearinghouse with so many different experts, and organizations, including links to these sites so that we can collectively begin to help everyone heal during these outrageously challenging times.


Through the people and organizations listed below, we will make a huge difference in helping our country and this world to heal. It starts now. It begins today.


As we learn more, share more, care more… We must begin with a higher level of education, knowledge and of course action!


We must all get involved, and stop sitting on our hands hoping that “someone else“ will save us.

We, will save ourselves.


If you know of additional people and organizations that are not listed below, that could be a great fit for us, please share your information to us at david@davidessel.com.


We wish you healing. We really wish you love. Starting right now.
