“Anxiety Relief for Teens is a well-structured therapeutic guide,
specially designed and written to address the complexity of young
lives. Drawing from many corners of behavioral and cognitive
therapies, Dr. Galanti discusses relatable aspects of teens’
behavior, thinking, and emotional experience. Integrated throughout
are numerous therapeutic morsels in the forms of quiz-type
assessments, exercises, and tools to create real and lasting change
in the reader. This book is great for teens as well as
clinicians working with teens.” –Mitchell L. Schare, PhD,

“Anxiety Relief for Teens offers readers a toolbox from which they
can choose what works. Dr. Galanti intersperses definitions
and context with games and practice, along with vignettes that give
examples of what went right or wrong. Each of the exercises is
presented cookbook style, like recipes with times needed and
expected outcomes. The reader can take as little or as much as
is comfortable, and walk away with useful steps to employ
immediately; and since they’re all small steps, triumph is on the
next page.” –David Teisler, CAE, Director of Communications and
Deputy Executive Director at the Association for Behavioral and
Cognitive Therapies
“Dr. Galanti’s book, Anxiety Relief for Teens, is an invaluable
resource for teens, young adults, parents, and clinicians,
containing skills and exercises readers can immediately implement
and use with great results. The language and diagrams
throughout the book are clear and incredibly relevant, making
it a unique contribution and a go-to book for clients and
clinicians alike! There is a great need in today’s high-pressure,
high-speed world for young people to feel empowered to
understand and manage their anxiety and fears so they can unleash
and maximize their potential. I cannot wait to introduce this book
to all of the teens, young adults, and colleagues in my life!”
