About the CEO Dr. Carol Breiling
I am a native New Yorker, born and raised on Long Island (and yes, I still have my NY accent). I am also a 2-time Veteran, having served in the US Navy and Air Force with a 16-year break-in-service in between both enlistments. I have since retired from the Air Force in 2014 as a disabled veteran.
In between my two enlistments with the military, I was married, had three daughters, was divorced and “learned the hard way” how to effectively co-parent our children. Twenty-five years later, I was married again for the 2nd time. This marriage is built upon love, respect, equity and a myriad of shared interests…. But in the period of time immediately after my divorce, I found that I was desperate to learn why I did the things I did and why others did the things they do – so I began to take courses in relationships, which led me to the field of psychology; and then I could not stop learning. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in 2012, my Master's degree in 2014, and my Doctorate Degree in 2020 - All from the field of Clinical Psychology. To this day, I continue to take courses and learn anything that helps me to build upon my career – which is to help and serve others.
