Dr. Kanner is a Licensed Clinical Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychologist and Psychoanalyst with a full time private practice in Rancho Santa Fe, California. He is also an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at U.C. San Diego and a Clinical Instructor and Supervisor at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Recently, he has become the Director of Clinical Counseling for La Jolla Country Day School and has been named to the National Board of Directors for KidsKorps, USA. He continues as a Consultant for many public and private schools in San Diego and has also received distinguished teaching awards over the past seven years. He is a published author and a sought after speaker on topics pertaining to childhood, adolescence, and parenthood. Dr. Kanner also has his own website, Kanner.TV.

Dr. Kanner is also the Host/Anchor of Your Family Matters on Wsradio.com, an expert contributor on NBC California Non-Stop, NBC – San Diego 6 and Weekly Life Changer Segment on Extra, a nationally syndicated show. He has appeared as a guest on Dr. Phil, CNN Headline News, Geraldo, and Fox and Friends.

Currently Dr. Kanner is working on a pilot for Lifetime where he will learn about the teenager and the parent to help them come together and understand each other. Dr. Kanner’s experience mixed with his natural, good-natured curiosity will propel each episode as he strives to make a real connection with both the teenager and parent by adopting their lives into his own experience. By immersing himself in their conflict, Dr. Kanner will absorb the meaning, and the history surrounding the conflict between the teenager and parent and in doing so will help them understand themselves.

Additionally, Dr. Kanner is currently working on Parenting On Demand with Dr. Kanner, in which three minute parenting tips are being produced to run on Cable Companies on a national basis.


Dr. Kanner has been awarded the iParenting Media Winner two years running and Man of the Year in Medicine and Health Care.
