youth anxiety

In this episode, we delve into the pressing issue of anxiety among today's youth and its impact on their well-being. Our guest, Dr. David H. Rosmarin, a Harvard Medical School associate professor and the visionary behind the Center for Anxiety, shares his expertise in helping over 1,000 patients annually. Join us as we explore practical strategies for recognizing anxiety as a source of strength and providing valuable tools to empower young individuals in their journey.

There is a vibrant and growing hub of education entrepreneurship and alternative learning models in New York City, and our guests today are a part of that. Jacob Greebel and Melissa Sornik, both licensed social workers and experienced therapists, founded Acton Academy Seacliff in 2020 in Seacliff, New York on Long Island, but decided to move their Acton Academy into the heart of Manhattan. In their private practice, they see mounting school-related youth anxiety and believe that alternative education models, and the Acton model in particular, can be a beneficial antidote. 

Jacob and Melissa are planning to open the doors on Synergy: An Acton Academy in New York City this fall.
