Hello! I’m Dr. Becca Ballinger
Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Modern Parenting Expert
Modern Parenting Solutions is a place where I can work with kids and families one-on-one to help them overcome their challenges.
For the last 8 years, I’ve written extensively for large publications and provided trainings and seminars on Modern Parenting topics, but there’s nothing like working with kids, teens, and families individually.
As a parent to two wonderful young adults, I know first-hand the challenges that both parents and kids face today – but these challenges don’t have to become a permanent impediment that follows your child into adulthood!
As a graduate of the doctoral program at Loma Linda University, my research and training background is with suicidal, self-harming adolescents and their families. This means that I’m comfortable with helping families overcome a wide variety of problems – from low self-esteem, anxiety, academic difficulties, and family communication to some of the most serious challenges that occur in the family system.
