Dre Meller, MFT
Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee
As a parent of an anxious and stressed teen, you may be wondering what you can do to support your child. Anxiety and stress can feel like a huge weight to carry, but your teen and family does not have to carry it alone. I believe one of the best things teens can do is get support while their brains are still developing. It can be hard to ask for help and can feel overwhelming. My passion is helping others find a sense of relief from anxiety. I help teens turn stress into success.
