About the Author

About the author

Dr. Louis Propp, a licensed clinical psychologist, has been practicing psychotherapy for over forty years. In his writing, he demonstrates the real dialogues that occur during therapy by creating fictional patients. "Notes From A Child Psychologist" shows ten different problems that his made-up child, adolescents, and family's characters actually go through. "Lessons in Teletherapy" explains through invented cases the process of adapting face-to-face therapy into a telehealth model during the Covid pandemic. Louis lives in Maine and continues to practice teletherapy part-time.
