Dr. Ely Schneider
PhD, HSPP, LP · Licensed Psychologist
I'm a licensed psychologist specializing in pediatric and family psychology. Over the past decade, I've worked with hundreds of families across hospital systems, schools, and private practice—helping parents navigate everything from developmental concerns to the daily realities of raising kids in a screen-saturated world. This course distills what I've learned from research and clinical work into something practical you can actually use.
