Dr. Lisa Damour, psychologist, podcaster, author, New York Times columnist, CBS news contributor.

Although Dr. Damour specializes in the development of teen girls and young women, her work resonates with most caregivers struggling with the angst of the tween , teen , and even young adult years. Her podcast Ask Lisa (https://www.drlisadamour.com/podcast/) discusses topics as varied as Should I allow my teen to drink at home , How do you help a kid who shuts you out, and My kid's room is a hot mess: what should I do? Her most popular book Untangled explores how the teen brain develops and how it influences teen girls as they transition from girlhood to adulthood. She identifies 7 phases of transition between adolescence and adulthood, as well as offers practical advice. I highly recommend !
