Today’s guest is Dr. Lisa Strohman, whose story is as fascinating as her career. Dr. Lisa Strohman has gained widespread recognition for her work advocating for and educating people about mental health’s ever changing role in our digital lives. She has worked with thousands of parents, schools, and kids all around the world as a lawyer, clinical psychologist, and author, and founded the Digital Citizen Academy: a nonprofit program offered to schools with an in-home plan that encourages balance and prosocial relationships to technology for students.
Dr. Strohman has over a decade of experience dealing with individual, family, and adolescent clients coping with issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and technology usage, and co-founded the Technology Wellness Center with Dr. Melissa Westendorf JD, PhD in 2014. She’s an author of three books about the relationships that young people are developing to technology in the modern world, and is also regularly featured in the media as an authoritative source for concerns concerning technology usage and behavior, including a weekly feature on Dr. Drew's radio show and a role as an expert on Dr. Oz's ShareCare website.
Suffice it to say, Dr.Strohman is an accomplished and impactful figure in modern society, and her experiences in youth reflect a tenacity and resilience that has carried her throughout. Our conversation today covers everything from homelessness to the FBI, and we have a chance to hear about Dr.Strohman’s experience of having an organ-saving radiation therapy initially rejected by her insurance company. She’s an incredible woman with a lot of wisdom to share, and a compassionate perspective on the world, and I’m delighted to be able to share her insights with you.
