Hi, I’m Rob Meltzer.
I appreciate you taking the time to explore my website. I hope it gives you a clear sense of who I am and how I work. If you would like to connect or have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help.

Welcome to New Terrain Consulting

At New Terrain Consulting, I work with individuals and families who are facing challenge and uncertainty and searching for a way forward. My approach begins with listening and understanding the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

By working together with care and intention, I help people uncover what’s getting in the way of growth and move toward greater health, balance, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Thoughtful Guidance Begins with Listening to Understand

What Sets My Work Apart?

Listening Deeply

I take time to truly listen and
understand, not only to what is said
but what lies beneath. Each person’s story is complex and understanding
this is the foundation of my work.

Seeing the Whole

I look at all the factors that may be affecting well-being, including emotional, physical, and
environmental influences, and how
they interact with one another.

Working Together

I see this process as a trusting partnership. Together, we clarify
goals and create the conditions that support healing, resilience, and a
sense of direction.

Being Intentional

I take a careful and measured
approach, creating space for decisions and solutions that are thoughtful, practical, and sustainable to promote lasting change.

  • A middle-aged man with gray hair wearing a blue checkered shirt, talking to a younger person with short hair seen from behind, against a blurred outdoor background.

    "Rob’s uncanny intuition and ability to recognize the needs of the family is especially important during times of crisis when family members cannot objectively assess the dynamics that lead to conflicts. His insight helped us slow down, listen, and begin to understand each other again. In a moment when everything felt uncertain, Rob brought steadiness and clarity."

  • A young man and an older man are hiking through a forested trail, carrying backpacks and walking sticks.

    "Rob is a thoughtful and sensitive person full of compassion and love. For all those who know him, we see this in his passion, his willingness to ask the difficult questions, to challenge the status quo, and to be willing to dig deep and explore the unknown. Rob is an example of someone both humble enough to learn and confident enough to lead. His dedication to integrity and growth inspires the people and organizations he works with."

  • "Making the decision to trust in the process for my teenage daughter was excruciating. Rob, as a steady resource of insight and information, made all the difference in the life of my daughter and of my own. He met us where we were — frightened, uncertain, and exhausted — and helped us take one clear step at a time. Because of Rob, we found a sense of stability and renewed trust in the process of healing."
