Who I Help
Who I Help
I work with individuals, with parents seeking support for a child or teen, and with professionals. No matter where you are starting, the same phases of work guide our process together.
Phases of Work
-
Every engagement begins with a thoughtful and thorough starting point. I take time to hear your story, understand your goals, and gather insights from family members and other professionals who know and support you. This foundation ensures that everything we do is based on your personal needs and grounded in reality.
-
Next, we identify and choose the best resources and create a clear action plan. I think of this as finding the right terrain, the conditions where learning, growth and healing can truly take root. Whether it means selecting a therapeutic program, an alternative to college, a new school, or a transformational experience for yourself, I bring a vast, vetted network and decades of experience to guide you confidently toward informed choices.
-
Once your path is set, my role shifts to walking alongside you on the trail. I provide support, feedback, and perspective as you and or your child move through the resources you have chosen. My goal is to help you stay aligned with your deeper goals and feel supported throughout the journey. I will be your guide, advocate, confidante, and biggest cheerleader.
This framework guides all of my work, and below are the clients I most often support.
WHO I HELP
People at a Crossroads
Often people reach out when life feels off track or when they are ready to make meaningful change. Some are struggling and need help finding their footing; others are seeking growth, clarity, or a new direction. I take time to understand your story, your needs, and your hopes before we decide how to move forward.
Together, we often focus on ways to:
Make a meaningful life or career change
Rebuild health and daily structure
Strengthen relationships or community connection
Find balance, purpose, and renewed energy
WHO I HELP
Parents Seeking Support for a Child or Teen
If you are feeling scared, uncertain, or carrying the weight of trying to help your child, you are not alone. Many parents I work with have felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. I take time to listen and understand what is happening so we can find a path that restores hope and brings perspective and stability.
Together, we might work to:
Clarify next steps and explore options that align with your family’s values
Strengthen communication and rebuild trust at home
Navigate transitions into or out of programs and schools
Help you reconnect as a family and create a greater sense of stability and connection
WHO I HELP
Professionals Working in Partnership
When I collaborate with other professionals, my goal is to create a cohesive, well-rounded support system for the individuals and families we serve. Whether I’m working alongside clinicians, educators, or consultants, I focus on holding the big picture and keeping communication open
and clear so everyone stays aligned.
Together, we often focus on:
Coordinating communication among therapists, educators, and programs
Aligning strategies across teams to maintain consistent support
Providing perspective and context to guide decisions
Promoting connection, alignment, continuity of care
“Rob Meltzer has a gift of honing in on the crux of any problem. I believe he is able to do this because of his great listening skills and his experience in working with teens. He sees patterns very quickly and is able to support both the teen and the parents through his “on target” observations and his ability to lead you to an understanding of your family dynamics.”

Finding Support When You Need It Most
If you are feeling uncertain about next steps or weighed down by difficult decisions, reaching out is a good place to start. I bring compassion, clarity, and understanding to the process, helping you regain confidence, perspective, and chart new terrain.
