Your relationship with your child is my passion. 

Hi! My name is Kristen Cook, MD. I'm a pediatrician with over 15 years of experience and the mom of two strong-willed kids. I'm passionate about helping parents create more peaceful and effective parenting journeys. Most parenting strategies expect you to help your child fit a certain mold. I take a different approach. I encourage people to parent the child that they have, not the child they want. I help parents understand their child or children on a deep level. When we understand our child's cognitive, emotional, and social development, as well as their temperament and personality, we can create personalized approach to raising joyful, successful children.

My book, "Parenting Redefined: A Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Child’s Behavior to Help Them Thrive" will be released in late 2025! 

Take a deep breath and hang with me. This book is a no holds barred approach with information that is real, raw, and sometimes gross! But I promise it will help you to unapologetically thrive as a parent.
