farm on a river in Kentucky.”

protect their kids. But parents’ greatest gifts to children can
be to help them find their own authentic voice. We can live
examples for our children by not going nuts about hardships,
finding a serenity and grace, our biggest gifts that stand
over time.”
Of course, not all of Tucker’s clients are overprotective.
In cases of neglect and abuse, they are just the opposite. But
even in these situations, he says, the child is not being heard.
“It’s a pendulum swing from being neglected or abused to
being overprotective. But in both cases, the child is not being
listened to nor heard.’’
Day to day, Tucker’s practice in Vero involves working
with children ages 3 and up. In addition to talk therapy, he
prescribes medication, including anti-depressants, stimulants,
and mood stabilizers, as needed. He describes himself as a
“listening” doctor, and is passionate about what he does. “I
do think my patients get all of me,” he says. “I think it’s
my calling.”
