About Us
The story of our professional partnership began over a decade ago with an interview for a clinical position. That first introduction resulted in a meeting of the minds. What started as a professional relationship has bloomed into a strong friendship and has served as an even greater support network for each other’s triumphs and challenges.
The concepts behind Talking Teenage are a culmination of hours of professional experience and collegial chatter. From early on in our respective careers we have perceived ourselves as students of adolescent language and behavior. We have listened and learned from the finest of teachers…the hundreds of teens and parents who continue to touch our lives daily.
Barbara and Jennifer are clinical psychologists who specialize in the treatment of teens and their families. They are respected writers, speakers, and consultants on teen issues.
