This week Art Eddy and Ryan Hamilton talk about surviving the "Blizzard of 2015" and how Art is following Ryan’s footsteps by talking on a panel at Dad 2.0 Summit. They also bring on father, author, and psychologist, Dr. Joe Taravella.

Dr. Joe Taravella is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Supervisor of Pediatric Psychology of NYU-Langone Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. Dr. Joe is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in New York City where he helps children, individuals and families reach their greatest potential every day. He specializes in treating neurological, behavioral, and environmental problems that cause breakdowns within families. It is through his compassion, tolerance and respectful approach to all that Dr. Joe is able to teach his clients the importance of verbal communication, how to accept oneself with open arms and the positive impact that occurs when one breaks away from maladaptive patterns.

Dr. Joe Taravella is also co-author of two children books entitled Hugs of Three: My Daddies and Me and Hugs of Three: My Mommies and Me. The Hugs of Three series were written with the intention of teaching children about unconditional love within families. Both of the books place an emphasis on infant and toddler development giving readers a sense of belonging as children of same-sex parents. The first lines of the book, "My family is so special" draws readers in with a relatable tone and continues to highlight the moments that all families share and cherish.

He also serves as an active Board Member, titled Director of Family Programs, for the Kid Angel Foundation. Kid Angel is a non-profit organization helping underprivileged children and families from distressed communities move toward positive social and economic mobility.
