Project Lullaby was founded by Rev. Stephen DeMatteis,PhD, himself an adult survivor of childhood abuse. The program offers counseling and support to adult men and women who are seeking answers to the continued dysfunctions of their lives due to the learned behaviors and effects of childhood abuse.

Project Lullaby defines abuse as any unwelcome, inappropriate and deliberate act upon one individual by another. This includes, but is not limited to, emotional, physical and spoken form.

Project Lullaby holds as its mission to offer an alternative safe environment for the adult mind to communicate and heal the mind of the inner child who holds in its knowing the trauma of its abuse.

To offer individual and group counseling both cognitive and regressive. ultimately guiding the individual to choose a plan of personal survival over one of self-imposed victimization. To further support that choice with peer affirmation groups and individual supports as needed. 

Project Lullaby seeks also to work with those men and women who recognize that they too are abusive in their learned nature - offering education and counseling to help break the patterns of abuse and diminish the risk present in their lives.

Project Lullaby welcomes into its program all persons seeking survival regardless of race, creed, color, age, sex, sexual orientation or socioeconomic standing. An honest desire for survival and a respect for the confidentiality of others is a requirement of our program.
