Meet Dr. Danny O'Rourke, PhD, ABPP, CPsychol

Co-Founder of The Screen Balance Program

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. Dr. O'Rourke completed his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from 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. Literally every parent I know complains about current screen use at home or has concerns for future screen use. And I'm concerned for the future of my kids! I looked for a program to help guide families, but everything was just expressing concern and not actually providing solutions. So I did what any good 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, compassionate framework for families who know something needs to change. 

Meet Dr. Jennifer Tininenko, PhD

Co-Founder of The Screen Balance Program

Dr. Jennifer Tininenko is a clinical psychologist and Director of the Child Anxiety Center at EBTCS, specializing in evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep disorders, in children through young adults. Dr. Tininenko completed her Ph.D. from 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'm seeing concerns about screens everywhere. My own kids are having to navigate this topic, and it felt like trying to follow a map, not knowing where it leads or what the right move is. So I too, dove deep into the research and we built the solution over the past 2 years. I wanted to build something that can help thousands of people and make a truly meaningful impact.
