Mental Health Crisis?

“THE Mental Health Crisis” in this country and this world is real!


Mental Health Crisis? 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 due to her own mental health struggles.


Number Three. The creator of this course, a counselor, author, minister, master life coach, radio and TV host David Essel struggled even as a counselor for over 30 years with depression, anxiety, addiction and ADD. After reaching out for help, he has become one of the leading teachers in the world of mental health, leading him to create this program to help this world heal.


DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES WE ARE ALL FACING: BECOME A HEALER, AND HELP OTHERS TODAY! 


#1 best-selling author, life coach, and counselor, David Essel, M.S., O.M. has been a long-time advocate for mental health, and now with the demand for mental health care so high, David has created an additional course, for those who want to become Mental Health & Master Certified Life Coaches. The course is 30 hours long, with three levels, and each course is 10 hours. In this in-depth course, you will learn what the pros know about how to help your clients, as a mental health and master life coach, achieve their goals in life. 


During this pandemic, there has been so much emphasis, and rightfully so, on the mental health challenges in our country: anxiety, depression, suicide, addiction, PTSD, relationship challenges, divorce, insomnia, health issues, weight gain, financial challenges, attitudinal challenges. 


The American Psychological Association stated in a recent survey, that 79% of Americans do not feel they have the mental health, emotional coping skills necessary to deal with the pandemic. In David’s mental health and master life coach certification, you will not only learn how to become exceptional life coaches and help people in every area of life, but your specialty will be mental health. We will teach the origin of mental health issues as well as the solution for a variety of issues, many of them listed above.


 David Essel, who created his initial master life coach certification in 1996, has done a total revamp to help us deal with the challenges we are facing. Also in the American Psychological Association study, they found that over 80% of couples felt extremely stressed and unhappy in their relationships, and over 40% of Americans struggled with anxiety and depression. 


In David’s practice, anxiety and/or depression is in almost 80% of his cases, 85% of his relationship work is helping couples to learn how to decrease their arguing and bring more peace into their lives. Grief has become normalized, unfortunately.


For the last 42 years, David has used many different mental health healing techniques which he will share with those in this program such as cognitive-behavioral work, The Sedona method, emotional journey work, identification with mental health challenges, emotional regulation, and of course some of the non-therapeutic tools like meditation, the use of essential oils with attitude and mood, the use of amino acid therapy with sleep, irritability, depression, anxiety and so much more! 


At the end of these three levels, the certified coach will walk away with the ability to ask the pertinent questions and to give their clients the pertinent homework assignments to empower each of our clients to become their own healers after they’re done working with one of our certified coaches.


David knows the world of mental health challenges all too personally. After struggling with undiagnosed anxiety and depression for 30 years, which led to a major addiction to alcohol, David attempted to take his own life in 1990. Yes, you read that correctly. Even as a counselor, David struggled deeply, needed to reach out for help after he was unable to remove the addictions on his own.


Even as a counselor, he reached out to other counselors and spent 52 straight weeks in counseling in order to not only heal his own emotional challenges but to go more deeply into so many different alternative healing techniques that have helped all of his clients immensely over the past 30+ years. Since 1996 he has certified thousands of people from all over the world, and now offers a brand new, unique certification specifically designed for these challenging times that we are in with the pandemic: “Mental Health & Master Life Coach Certification”, is now available. 


You can do this certification 1 on 1 with David from anywhere in the world, or in a group setting. 


Throughout these three levels you will learn:


  • The professional approach to coaching, inspiring, and educating your clients.
  • How to help your clients identify the most important mental health challenges to work on.
  • Dual Diagnosis: you will learn that there may be more than 1 mental health challenge with many of your clients.
  • The power of the conscious and subconscious mind in the world of self-care.
  • How emotional regulation, can be the first stepping stone to healing.
  • What are the most common mental health issues?
  • What is the origin of these issues?
  • What are all of the possible solutions to these challenges? ( THERE ARE SO MANY SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE.)
  • How to identify if the core family unit may be the beginning of these issues
  • Genetics vs environment with mental health?
  • The role of all and any addictions on our own mental well-being.
  • Tools like Cognitive and Dialectical work, to stop the negative ruminating thoughts, to be replaced with affirmative concepts/action steps that will show the “light at the end of the tunnel.”
  • Anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep issues, anger management, relationship challenges, work issues, health and weight challenges, child-raising concerns, financial challenges, addictions and more can all be exasperated with underlying mental health concerns.
  • Amino acid therapy has become the go-to for many professionals today, to help with brain chemistry, sleep, irritability, stress, energy levels and so much more!
  • HOPE! Our work as professional coaches is to give people hope, that millions of people, like David, have overcome huge mental health challenges and they can do the same.
  • Alternative therapies like acupuncture, body, and breathwork, and even the use of essential oils in the treatment of a variety of mental health concerns.
  • Experiential Training! Under David’s direct guidance, you will be able to work with several clients and get his feedback on how well you are doing!
  • The role of gut health, our intestinal tract, in regards to depression, mood, and anxiety. This concept surprises many!
  • The supplements are necessary, in order to get our intestinal track healed, which can have a major impact on our mental health and decisions in life.
  • The role that dopamine, serotonin, and GABA play with mental health issues
  • The supplements and action steps are available to improve brain chemistry and the levels of dopamine, serotonin, and GABA.
  • LETTING OUR CLIENTS KNOW THEY ARE NEVER ALONE, THAT WE TRULY CARE FOR THEM, IS A KEY WE MUST ALL FOCUS ON TO HELP THIS WORLD HEAL!

***** Our world needs right now, more coaches who care. More coaches trained to be of service to those struggling with mental health issues. THE TIME TO DO THIS WORK IS NOW.


With each of these three courses, you will receive an extremely detailed manual, along with a book on personal growth, mental health, and more!

message of hope

I sit here today, like many people, looking back at the last five years and understanding the struggle that most of us have been going through. Like me, you might be experiencing a holiday season without a loved one Like me you might be experiencing a holiday season that has been preceded by several years of deep trauma, that for many of us is a part of our lives… Even though we wish it wasn’t. In the struggles we’ve all faced, I think it’s so important to figure out what we’re learning about ourselves, what we’re learning about our belief systems, what we’re learning about self-care and how we treat others. Normally people do these posts on January 1 getting everyone ready for the new year, but I wanted to do it today because 2026 is in our hands, it can be complete crap, or it can be something quite different. It really depends on our perspective, our mindset, and how we’re willing to change what isn’t working now into what will work in the near future. Some of us have had incredible health struggles. Others have had relationship break ups. Others have gone through Divorce. Others have gone through financial collapse. Others have tried to figure out the whole world of grieving, after losing a loved one when they’ve never been in that position before. Others have struggled with finding the right job, the right career Others have struggled with deep mental health issues, anxiety, depression, mental issues. So we come to this point, and we can either hold onto the struggles that we’ve gone through over the last five years or we can slowly start to release them and look for tools that are all over the place and how to change our mindset how to change our subconscious mind and how to expect the best after five years of hell for many of us. Is it possible? Hell, yes! But we have to decide now… How we’re going to strengthen our mental health, how we’re going to improve our physical health, how we’re going to improve our relationships, how we’re going to improve our financial situation, how we’re going to improve anything else not mentioned here that has been a stressful experience for us in the past. Many of us will find solace in a deep connection by going deeper into your spiritual or religious experiences. Others will find solace by finding a mentor, counselor, teacher who can assist us because they’ve already been in the situation we’re currently facing. Others will find solace “community“, whether it’s business groups or Recovery, groups, or mastermind groups, community could be the answer for many people who are struggling right now. Others will find solace simply by letting go! By releasing the constant grind… By releasing the Constant need to “have more buy more“ Others will find solace by going deeper into the world of volunteerism, whether it’s pet shelters or reading to the blind, there’s so many different ways that you can start to shift your identity from struggle to service. Others will find solace by going into the creative world, by learning a musical instrument or learning how to draw or paint or woodwork or some other type of hobby that allows them to tap into different parts of the brain to continue to grow as a human being, not to get stuck in the negativity. I have clients that have found great solace in the last six months by completely getting off of all social media. I have clients in the last six months that found solace by completely eliminating anything to do with the news or political conversations. I have clients in the last year that never believe they’d be able to meditate or learn diaphragmatic breathing or learn emotional regulation or lose 50 to 100 pounds and yet they’ve all done it in the last 12 months! But it didn’t happen because they started 30 days ago it’s happened because they started 12 months ago which is the whole purpose of my article here! Now is the time my brothers and sisters to begin the change! Now is the time to start to really learn about the power of your subconscious mind and how to turn it into one of the greatest assets you’ve ever had in your life and I promise you this… If you learn how to master The subconscious mind in 12 months, you’ll be a completely different person potentially in every area of your life! I’ve seen that happen in my life! I’ve seen it happen in thousands of thousands of clients that I’ve worked with over the past 50 years… Their lives completely changed in a year or less! This is why I am Asking you to strongly consider taking the time now up until January 1 to really get yourself going so on January 2 you know what you’re gonna be doing every day in order to shatter the old triggers, to shatter the old fears and insecurities, and to bring you to the place that you want to be financially, relationship, wise, healthwise, mentally, emotionally… I want you in 12 months or less to be exactly where you want to be and I know you can do it because I’ve seen it happen over 1000 times! You have the power to radically change your life right now if you so desire! You have the power to completely turn around anything that has been a trigger, and turn it into a non-event! Believe in yourself! Believe even deeper in yourself! I am wishing you the most amazing radical change if that is what’s necessary in your life, so you can live the life of your desires, your dreams and create at the same time opportunities for others to see what’s possible… You become the role model for success! I’m sending you so much love, so much joy, and a prayer that you take 2026 seriously enough to begin in writing the daily rituals that you will start to follow in order to create what you deserve. With love, David
