Dr. Monica Page is licensed psychologist and author of the children’s book series, Growing up Pages- Life lessons with Zandie and Ellis. Her books focus on real life social and interpersonal challenges encountered by her daughters Zandie and Ellis with the hopes of helping other children and parents navigate life’s difficult topics.

A former kindergarten teacher, Monica integrates her education and experience as a teacher, psychologist and a mom to present stories that are heart felt and empowering. She strives to highlight positive gender and racial identity development throughout the series as it’s the hallmark of both her parenting and therapeutic style.

Monica lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, their two daughters, and two adorable Boston Terriers that add just the right amount of naughtiness in their lives.
