About the Author

Holli Kenley is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. She holds a Masters Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling. She first became interested in promoting the wellness of others in the early 1990s by volunteering time to lead support groups for women struggling with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). This experience was the motivation behind her first book, The PMS Puzzle, as well as the impetus to return to graduate school to become a licensed therapist.

Holli has worked in a variety of settings: a women’s shelter and transitional housing, a counseling center, and in private practice. Counseling with adolescents, teens, young and older adults, Holli’s areas of special training and interest include sexual trauma and abuse, betrayal, addiction, codependency and cyber bullying. Holli is the author of numerous published articles and in 2010, she authored her second book, Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering the Peace Within. Recently released is her first e-single, Betrayal- Proof Your Relationship: What Couples Need To Know And Do.

In addition to her work as a therapist and an author, Holli enjoys speaking at workshops and conferences. For the past two years, Holli has been a peer presenter at the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists’ Annual Conferences. In 2011, Holli spoke on “Cyber Bullying: The H1N1 of TechnologyAn Analysis of Causation & Implications for Intervention.” Holli will be a peer presenter at CAMFT’s 48th Annual Conference in May 2012 speaking on “Triaging Cyber Bullying: Protection, Intervention & Prevention.”

Editorial Reviews

"Rather imply that families can return to some idealistic less complicated time without Facebook, sexting, social networks, and Twitter, and whatever else comes along, Kenley's booklet will help parents mitigate possible harm to their children as they integrate this technology hopefully into healthy lives and relationships."
--Ronald Mah, M.A. LMFT, author of Difficult Behavior in Early Childhood and The One Minute Temper Tantrum Solution

Ronald Mah

"Holli addresses children's readiness for technology as well as rules, contracts and education for parents to consider for their children as they introduce or allow entry of new technology into their lives. Cyber bullying and victimization are concerns addressed as well as internet resources for parents, with tools for protection, interventions and prevention--a must for parents in our technological world."
--Lani Stoner, Marriage and Family Therapist
