Creativity through the lens of a psychologist, author, and founder of Parenting Talent LLC
"Being able to let go, dive in and express your authentic self."
Dr. Alaina Johnson is a psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. As a parent of three offspring who are passionate about the performing arts, she recognized the lack of resources for parents of teens and tweens with similar interests. This led her to found Parenting Talent LLC as a support resource for parents, instructors, mentors, and studio owners dedicated to empowering young people in their creative exploration. In addition she coaches teens and young adults in the arts to have a healthy, happy, balanced and productive relationship with their art.
She is the author of "Parenting Talent: The Grown-Up's Guide to Supporting Creatively Driven Teens and Tweens," which helps parents, mentors and organizations navigate the emotional and practical needs of teens and tweens in the arts.
