About Us: Parker Oppositional Defiance Disorder Therapy (PODD)
Our Journey and Mission
Founded in 2017, Parker Oppositional Defiance Disorder Therapy (PODD) was established with a vision to provide a comprehensive online resource for individuals and families navigating the complexities of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). This journey began out of a personal need and a recognized gap in accessible, unbiased information on this often-misunderstood mental health condition.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower those affected by ODD with knowledge, support, and practical tools for therapy and improvement. We strive to be the go-to platform for reliable, evidence-based resources related to ODD and its treatment.
Filling a Void Online
The internet abounds with information, but when it comes to ODD, we noticed a significant dearth of credible, user-friendly resources. Many websites either offer vague or outdated advice or promote controversial treatments. Recognizing this gap, our founders, Dr. Emma Parker and her team, set out to create a trusted digital space dedicated to ODD.

- Inclusivity: PODD welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures affected by ODD, offering perspectives that challenge stereotypes and promote understanding.
