Kids
Friendships, worry, school stress, and the first time a group chat feels bigger than the classroom.
San Diego · teens, college students, kids & parents
Anxiety, friendship, phones, school, the weird years after high school. You do not have to sort that out alone. Dr. O'Donnell helps kids, teens, and young adults find language that actually works in real rooms, not just in a slide deck.

Friendships, worry, school stress, and the first time a group chat feels bigger than the classroom.
Identity, peer conflict, tech boundaries, procrastination, performance anxiety, and the constant pressure to achieve.
Leaving home, roommates, dating, burnout, and the quiet panic of “I should have this figured out.”

Straightforward. A little funny. Not a lecture.
Parents leave with practical tools and language they can use that night to connect with their teens. Teens say it doesn’t feel like an assembly — imagery and storytelling make hard topics easier to talk about.
“I didn’t expect to laugh so much about parenting. Complicated topics, simple and useful. I am already picturing “The Blender” and avoiding “The Rabbit Hole”.”
— Mom of 3, after a parent workshop
