Dr. Becca Ballinger is a child psychologist, Modern Parenting Expert, founder of the popular blog Parenting The Modern Family, and owner of a Southern California private practice called Modern Parenting Solutions. She specializes in helping kids and families of all types overcome modern challenges that threaten the stability of the family. As a parent of a 20-year-old and a 17-year-old, not only does she know how to raise great kids within the structure of a nontraditional family, but she understands the unique stressors that this generation of kids must overcome. She has written extensively for large publications such as The Huffington Post on topics such as kids and mental health, successful parenting in nontraditional families, the motivation crisis that plagues this generation's youth, and finding the balance between over-parenting and under-parenting.
Specialties
When adolescents and teenagers struggle with tough issues like anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and/or academic issues, it could seem overwhelming when trying to find help for them. My goal is to provide the peace of mind that you need right away by creating a treatment plan that specifically targets your individual child's needs. I don't like to treat my clients like a number; instead, every child, teenager, or family that I work with is given a thorough intake assessment which allows me to create an individualized treatment plan that immediately targets -- and provides relief -- to the area(s) of focus. As a child psychologist and Modern Parenting Expert, I have extensive experience with helping families overcome the unique challenges that today's kids face. I regularly write on the topic of Modern Parenting for large publications such as The Huffington Post, Today's Parents, and Parents.com providing my expert advice on Modern Parenting issues. I have convenient afternoon and evening appointments immediately available to meet the needs for busy families. I also offer secure online telehealth appointments for certain circumstances. Please call me today at (909) 326-2562 to get started on the path of improvement for your family! I can't wait to begin working with you!
