Jen Canobbio LCSW + Teen Empowerment Coach & Family Connection Specialist

For over three decades, Jen Canobbio has been transforming the lives of teens and families—earning her the nickname "The Teen Whisperer" from colleagues witnessing her exceptional ability to connect with even the most challenging adolescents.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist who has supported thousands of youth across every possible setting—from residential treatment facilities to schools to family homes—Jen brings unparalleled insight into adolescent development and family dynamics. But rather than wait for crisis to strike, she's turned this expertise into a proactive approach that empowers teens exactly when they need it most.

Frustrated by seeing so many young people and their parents struggling unnecessarily through the adolescent years, Jen created the Teen Toolbox, a transformative 12-week program that equips teens with essential skills while also supporting  parents on how to navigate this critical developmental stage with confidence and connection.

Her philosophy is simple yet revolutionary: teenage "problems" are often based in developmental needs being misunderstood and misdiagnosed. By bridging this gap, Jen helps families replace power struggles with partnership, creating homes where both teens and parents thrive.

Jen's approach combines cutting-edge neuroscience with practical, real-world strategies that create immediate shifts in family dynamics. Her clients don't just survive the teen years—they discover that these years can actually be the most rewarding time of parenting.
