Ask Lisa: Untangling Family Life

Lisa Damour

Booking Overview

This is a weekly expert-interview show focused on parenting tweens and teens, adolescent development, mental health, and practical family challenges, typically featuring licensed clinicians, child-development specialists, educators, and authors. Agencies could credibly pitch established psychologists, adolescent-health specialists, eating-disorder experts, executive-function practitioners, education leaders, and authors with evidence-based expertise; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need substantial professional credentials but are not necessarily high-profile celebrities.
