Chris Parrott earned her BA from Dartmouth College and her MSc and Post MSc Degrees in Counseling Psychology at City University London. Chris also holds a Diploma in Hypnosis from London University and worked in the National Health Care System as one of the first therapists for General Practitioners, pioneering the implementation of therapists at that level. Since returning to the U.S., her focus has been on supporting self development in children and teens through the Your Self Series program.

Chris is dedicated to raising the level of education globally so that it focuses on empowering teens socially and emotionally. To that end, Chris presents at various national and local conferences as well as schools and community forums on topics related to building a strong sense of self. Chris lives in New York with her husband, two children, two dogs and a cat.

Paula Prentis, LMSW, is a licensed social worker with a passion for child and adolescent health and wellness. Before teaming up with Chris to develop Your Self Series, she gained experience working with children and teens through coaching soccer and track, volunteering to support trauma survivors, working in private clinical practice and serving on a variety of prevention councils. Her internships experiences at New York University provided experience working with children with developmental disabilities and high school students at one of the toughest inner city schools at the time. Then she raised her own teens and gained even more experience! 

Having spent over twenty years in mental health and wellness, Paula now shares her knowledge and skills to help people who work with or raise young adolescents. Whether through the Your Self Series website or one of Paula’s many workshops or presentations, people learn both substance and skills related to teen identity development, prevention and mental health. 

Paula currently lives in New York with her husband and enjoys just about anything that gets her outside.
