OnShoreWave Advisory and Engagement

David Haberland has played a key role in supporting the growth and development of H&H Counseling, a New Hampshire–based mental health and addiction counseling practice. His contributions focus on business mentorship, coaching, and strategic guidance that emphasize leadership development. With a strong background in business planning and operational support, David assisted in shaping the practice’s business plan, marketing strategy, client growth systems, and financial organization to facilitate strategic growth. Through hands-on collaboration, he provided guidance on private practice development, marketing implementation, client acquisition strategies, and foundational financial accounting support, ensuring that H&H Counseling was built on a sustainable and well-organized operational framework that promotes workplace wellness. His mentorship has been instrumental in the practice’s ability to scale thoughtfully while maintaining clarity, structure, and long-term stability. David’s work centers on behind-the-scenes business support for healthcare and behavioral health practices, allowing clinical providers to remain focused on delivering high-quality, client-centered care while operational systems enhance growth, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Over the years, Dave has been a trusted partner to Square Peg on some of our most challenging initiatives related to strategic growth and technical efforts. When complexity was high and paths forward were unclear, he consistently brought insight, composure, and creative problem-solving. Through his commitment to leadership development, Dave not only tackles difficult problems but also enhances workplace wellness by uplifting the people around him in the process.

I have known Dave for the past six years, and I can confidently say that working for him at Salesforce was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. He is an exceptional leader who excels in leadership development, demonstrating effective coaching and mentorship. Dave has a unique ability to deliver feedback that is honest, constructive, and motivating, ensuring it resonates with each individual. He takes the time to truly understand his team members and tailors his guidance to support their strategic growth and success in their careers.

Although Dave left Salesforce in February of this year, he has continued to play an important role in my professional development. He has supported me through complex career challenges, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped me prepare for my next role at Salesforce with a strong focus on long-term success.

Beyond his impact on my professional life, Dave has also provided valuable insight on navigating competing priorities and challenges in my personal life, contributing to my overall workplace wellness. His ability to understand the individual he is coaching and adapt his approach accordingly sets him apart; he is not a 'one-size-fits-all' leader.

Above all, Dave is one of the most caring, thoughtful, and understanding professionals I have had the pleasure of working with.

I have worked with Dave for more than 15 years across multiple companies and roles, and his impact on my career has been lasting and meaningful. He brings a rare combination of deep experience, practical insight, and a genuine commitment to leadership development and the success of others. Dave does not just offer advice; he listens carefully, asks the right questions, and helps turn challenges into clear, achievable goals that align with strategic growth.

His mentorship has consistently aided me in navigating career transitions, building confidence, and making better decisions, all while prioritizing workplace wellness. It is clear that he genuinely cares about helping others grow.

I’ve known Dave for over 8 years. From the beginning, he showed up not as someone trying to analyze me or advise from a distance, but as someone genuinely interested in understanding who I was and where I wanted to go in my leadership development journey. 

Dave has a rare way of giving feedback that stays with you. It’s honest and direct, while being thoughtful and encouraging. He listens carefully, asks questions that make you think, and helps you see situations from multiple lenses, fostering strategic growth. 

What I value most is that Dave’s mentorship goes beyond professional advice. He brings empathy and understanding to conversations about workplace wellness and the competing priorities we face. In our discussions, I feel he’s tailoring his approach to me. He’s not a one-size-fits-all mentor; it’s a holistic relationship that recognizes me for my faults, strengths, and uniqueness.

Rather than pushing solutions, he listens first, clarifies the problem, and then connects people with the right expertise to move forward with confidence.
