About the Founder

Christine M. Stroble, Ph.D. 


Christine M. Stroble, Ph.D., is the visionary founder of Teen Moms Anonymous. Driven by her extensive research, professional expertise, and personal experiences, Dr. Chris recognized the profound emotional wounds that many teen moms and women who were teen moms carry with them. Understanding the urgent need for healing, she was inspired to create a supportive and nurturing environment where they could find solace and strength.

Dr. Chris's commitment to supporting others is deeply personal. As a survivor of childhood trauma, she found healing through support groups like Codependents Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery, where she completed the 12-Step program. These experiences revealed to her the power of shared journeys in overcoming adversity, leading her to establish a similar support system for teen moms.

Drawing on her experiences as the daughter of a teen mom and her professional insights, Dr. Chris founded Teen Moms Anonymous as a Christ-centered nonprofit. Her goal was to create a haven where participants could connect with others who have faced similar challenges, receive emotional and moral support, and develop the skills needed to thrive as women and mothers.

Her story is one of breaking the cycle of teen pregnancy and achieving emotional health and wellness—a journey she now helps others embark on through Teen Moms Anonymous.

In addition to her work with the organization, Dr. Chris is the award-winning author of Helping Teen Mom Graduate: Strategies for Families, Schools, and Community Organizations, published in February 2023 by Rowman & Littlefield Education Publishers.

Her leadership and dedication continue to inspire and uplift countless women on their paths to healing and empowerment.
