Two psychologists. Two parents. One program built from both.
The Screen Balance Program was built by two clinical psychologists who treat childhood anxiety for a living, and who navigate screens with their own kids at home.
Dr. Danny O'Rourke
Dr. Danny O'Rourke is a board-certified, chartered clinical psychologist (ABPP, CPsychol) and a father specializing in the evidence-based treatment of anxiety and related problems in children and adolescents. He completed his PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Washington, his pre-doctoral internship at Seattle Children's Hospital, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Evidence-Based Treatment Centers of Seattle (EBTCS).
I built this program for personal reasons. Nearly every parent I know worries about screens at home, or about what comes next. I am concerned for my own kids too. I looked for a program to guide families and found plenty that named the worry but none that offered a real solution. So I did what any scientist does: I went deep on the research, became an expert on the topic, and built the solution myself. The Screen Balance Program is the result, a rigorous and compassionate framework for families who know something needs to change.
Dr. Jennifer Tininenko
Dr. Jennifer Tininenko is a clinical psychologist and Director of the Child Anxiety Center at EBTCS, specializing in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep problems in children through young adults. She completed her PhD at the University of Oregon, her pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Seattle Children's Hospital, and her postdoctoral fellowship at EBTCS. She is a licensed psychologist in Washington and a PSYPACT member.
I built this program because I see concerns about screens everywhere. My own kids are navigating this, and it felt like following a map without knowing where it leads or what the right move is. So I dove into the research too, and over two years we built the solution. I wanted something that could help thousands of families and make a truly meaningful difference.
The same framework we use in the clinic. Built for your kitchen table.
Start with the assessment tonight and see your child's screen life clearly, maybe for the first time.
