Reviews and Endorsements
'This is an essential, evidence-based guide for helping teens and young adults build the real world skills needed for confident independence. Drawing on years of clinical experience, the authors offer practical tools, clear frameworks, and engaging exercises that address everything from decision making and distress tolerance to family dynamics and financial realities. This book stands out for its proactive, skills focused approach, making it invaluable for young adults, parents, and professionals alike. A timely, empowering roadmap for thriving in adulthood rather than merely getting by.'
David Tolin, Ph.D., author of Doing CBT: A Comprehensive Guide to Working with Behaviors, Thoughts, and Emotions and clinic director at the Institute of Living/Anxiety Disorders Center
'Drs. Kaplan, Villavicencio, and Dumessa have provided an invaluable resource that addresses the critically important topic of young adults who are struggling to develop the skills needed to thrive without high levels of support from their parents. It provides specific and practical guidance and information regarding what step parents and young adults can do to make meaningful and lasting change. It is highly recommended!'
Jonathan Dalton, Ph.D., owner and director of the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change, Rockville MD
