About Stephanie Bryan, LCSW, CAC III My passion for parent education and coaching stems from my experiences as a parent. As a new parent, even though I had a Masters Degree in Social Work, I had no idea what to do; so I voraciously read parenting books. Through them I was able to learn enough to get through the first few years. By the time my kids were 3 and 5, they were out-of-control "monsters." I had been raised by two rigid and controlling parents, and I WASN'T GOING TO BE LIKE THEM! I was overly permissive, with no structure, no limits, no boundaries. And that wasn't working any better. Around that time, I had the good fortune to be able to take a parenting class. It helped. So I took another, and another, and another. And lo and behold, with much diligence and perseverance, I developed parenting instincts that matched my philosophy of parenting. YOU CAN TOO!!! My parenting credentials include my two adult children who have thanked me for the way I have raised them: a daughter who tells others she is raising her daughter the way she was raised and a son who thanks me for having raised him to be the kind of person his wife would fall in love with. My professional credentials include a Masters Degree in Social Work, an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and a CAC III (Certified Addictions Counselor). I am a certified facilitator of the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent® program and a Certified Parent Coach. I have taught and/or coached over 2000 parents since 1997.
