"The Anxiety Workbook for Teens, written by Lisa M.

"With straightforward prose, Schab shows teens that their anxiety is predictable and manageable. Each chapter teaches teens a critical concept and illustrates it with examples that they can relate to. Schab helps teens recognize that anxiety is based on the story they tell themselves; and then she gives them the language they need, and activities to practice, rewriting their story. For teens who are feeling powerless, Schab provides a path to challenge their anxiety and take back their power."
--Robyn P. Waxman, PhD, psychotherapist working with teens and families for more than twenty years, and editor of The Maryland Psychologist, the quarterly journal of the Maryland Psychological Association
