About
Psychologist & Award Winning Author 

Dr. Claire A. B. Freeland was a licensed psychologist in Maryland in private practice for over thirty years with a focus on children and their families. Wanting to extend her work beyond the office, she began writing books with co-author Dr. Jacqueline B. Toner for children and teens on subjects related to emotions and behavior. The books rely on research findings and clinical experience. They are useful for all children and teens, and can serve as a helpful adjunct to therapy. 

Now she has pivoted to writing picture books on a variety topics targeting all young children.
