Dr. Meredith Elkins is a clinical psychologist who studies and treats anxiety in children—and in the parents who love them. She is a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital. She also maintains a private practice serving new and expectant mothers and parents navigating the challenges of raising kids.

As a psychologist and a parent, she writes at the intersection of research and real life. Her work centers on building resilience and emotional flexibility in children while helping parents respond to anxiety with steadiness and confidence. She believes that anxiety isn’t something to eliminate, but something to understand and face skillfully.

She is a frequent voice in public discussions about child and family mental health, with her work has been featured in media outlets including The Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, Parents Magazine, and The Harvard Gazette.
