Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a California licensed social worker with over 25 years of clinical experience with children and families. She has worked in schools, residential programs, community clinics, hospitals and in private practice. In addition, she was a supervisor for ten years. Pamela had to leave her full-time work due to a health issue and has focused on empowering parents and their families as they navigate the mental health system. Pamela has written a "Parents Guide to Mental Health", available on her website, www.thetruthfultherapist.org, and she has written the book, "A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families", available on online. Pamela knows that grounding children in reality helps ease their anxiety. Also, she believes in helping children address underlying causes of identity distress. These beliefs inspired Pamela to write "Froggy Girl" because she saw so many books for children with the message that they could be born wrong and Pamela wants children to know that they were born right.
