About Arlene

Arlene F Harder

I’m not particularly good in writing short pieces. I usually need someone to poke me in the back to let me know when I’ve written enough. My muse will do this (if I’m paying attention), but I have a tendency to go on and on in an attempt to explain more than necessary.

As a recovering perfectionist however, I’m determined to make this bio very short. And that is possible because there are already two bios online (aimed at different audiences) that you can read if you want more info — beyond knowing that I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, wife and mother of grown children, author, web designer, and love to learn.

One of these bios is at Support4Change where I am founder and editor-in-chief. The other is at Childhood Affirmations, where I am also founder and the program director.

These two pieces should form a good basis on which you can learn enough about me to satisfy normal curiosity. Also, they will give you a feeling for how my experience and credentials offer, I believe, legitimacy to what I write.

In addition to those bios, there is this blog itself. After all, the purpose of a blog is to express the views of the writers. So if you want to know more about me than you’ll find in those two bios, just read some of my blog entries.

If you have questions or comments you would like to send me, I can be reached at: arleneharder [at] support4change dot com

You can also reach me at Support4Change, 2522 Boulder Road, Altadena, CA 91001, 626-797-8914.

I hope that what I write will, in some small way, make a difference in helping improve relationships by showing the importance of first improving oneself before trying to improve the other guy.

    Hi Arlene,

    I found your e-book very comforting. Thank you very much for helping my mind to deal with my adult daughter’s decisions. I continue to read the web-site and find it very helpful. Continue to assist us to change in a positive way….I applaud you for this.

    Kind regards,

    Dear Marlen,

    I’m Renee, the Webmaster for Support4Change.

    Thanks for your lovely comment! Unfortunately, Arlene has been ill recently, and has asked me to respond to her comments and emails. I know that she really appreciates reader comments. I will pass your appreciation on to her.

    I hope you enjoy the many articles we have both here, and on the Support4Change website. Arlene puts so much work and thought into each and every one. May they continue to give you hope and encouragement.

    Regards,
    Renee

    Marlen,

    I am cleaning out old email files and came across the email my assistant sent to you in Oct. (when I was out of commission with a virus). As I wrote to the person below, I enjoy it when people like what I write and tell me about it.

    Have a great New Year (since this is being written on Dec. 29).

    Arlene
