Strong leaders don’t just appear—they’re nurtured through everyday experiences.

When I talk with teenagers about leadership, the first thing I usually hear is something about how they would never want to be a leader. Many of them say things like “It is a thankless job.

Thank you for having me yesterday in Denver! Hope you enjoyed my presentation on “Incorporating Screentime Management into Therapeutic Interventions for Children and Teens."

Excited to be a part of and share my presentation on “Incorporating Screentime Management into Therapeutic Interventions for Children and Teens."

Attendees will learn how to identify emotional responses to unbalanced use of technology; ways to help clients discern the difference between occupational technology and recreational technology; simple techniques to incorporate into therapy sessions to maximize healthy uses of tech and minimize unhealthy ones; strategies for empowering people of all ages to become managers of tech use rather than being controlled by it; ways to help clients identify what is the right amount of tech versus what is too much.

Join me for my session on Saturday, August 9th, 2025, at the Colorado Convention Center. Can't wait to see you there!

I am excited to present on the topic “Incorporating Screentime Management into Therapeutic Interventions for Children and Teens” because it’s my passion to educate about the need for balance in technology use.

Learning how to balance the use of technology is crucial for everyone, as overuse can negatively impact emotional and physical health, disrupt relationships, and contribute to lack of motivation. Mental health professionals can lead the way in creating balance but many aren’t sure what steps are most important to incorporate into therapy sessions.

See Dr. Kimberly Harrison at this year's APA 2025 Conference in Denver, Colorado on Saturday, August 9th.
