Child and Family Coaching
I would like to take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Nellie Westpy and I am the owner of Hope Community Center. My husband, Anthony and myself had this vision over 15 years ago to create a place where we can help to link arms and strengthen others in our community. We are proud of the services we have and continue to provide here at Hope community Center.
We first created Avodah coaching after one of our four children went through a very difficult time with severe ADHD and anxiety. We not only needed support from others in that difficult season but financially it was a struggle . This is the main reason we joined the worldwide organization, Map Global and began our own nonprofit. We are proud that we can offer a wide variety of coaching services, and no one ever has to worry about paying fees that they can not afford.
Take a moment to think about it. People who are doing their best ,elite athletes, talented singers, violinist, CEOs all hire coaches ! C.S Lewis said “ children should not be a distraction for more important work ,they are the most important work”. I believe we all agree with that statement ,however, children do not come with a manual .As parents we need to have a growth mindset and a drive to continually improve. Our coaching addresses your challenges at hand along with activating principles for positive parenting for future harmony and peace in your hearts and home .
Our Philosophy:
The Hebrew word “Avodah “ is defined work, worship and service. Through our service our coaching will empower parents to be the leader their children will follow. We believe that parenting should be rooted in communication, empathy, connection along with setting a child’s moral compass. Our approach is biblically-based with love and respect to help your family thrive and to bring healing to any wounds that have taken root. Recognizing that our overall wellness is determined by how connected we feel to ourselves and the people and systems in our lives. Our promise to you is that we put everything aside to focus solely on your family and helping you find beauty through the struggles.

Nellie Westpy
Behavior Coach
I have worked with children and families for over 34 years. I hold to BA in early childhood and family psychology as well as being a registered behavior technician. I returned to school in 2021 to become a certified behavior coach which has opened the door to a whole new journey that I have fallen in love with!
I understand that every parent wants what’s best for the child and that these important developmental stages are not easy to navigate through hence the reason why we focus on getting to the core root that the child is facing rather than medicating and masking the issue. Additionally, we work closely alongside the parents involving them and equipping them along the way. I also assist on helping the parents understand what behaviors are healthy, and how to cope as new concerns arise. We equip them with tools and strategies to help their child which only reassures and empowers them in their parenting journey.
A few strategies that I focus on during sessions are:
Building social skills
Developing emotion management skills
Developing more confidence
Enhance problem-solving skills
Reduce anxiety and worries
Anthony Westpy
Life Coach
Life coach, I offer evidence based life coaching to young male teens through adults.My approach to coaching is deeply rooted in relationship management and the genuine understanding of each client.
Through the sessions, clients discover what they desire in life and what barriers have prevented them from their achievements. I am not looking to simply address problems. I am looking to help transform them into pathways for growth.
I have a combined three decades of experience with physical and mental coaching, business franchise training as well as owning and operating my own businesses .From having navigated the complexities of founding and running my own family businesses I bring first-hand experience to the table. My 30 years of guiding men and families through the most challenging issues have equipped me with unique insight into fostering reconciliation as well as strengthening bonds .It is all about the client and giving honest feedback and guidance so you can become the best man you can be!
