The Anxious Generation: Guiding Young Adults with Dr. Jack Hinman

The Anxious Generation: Guiding Young Adults with Dr. Jack Hinman

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with Dr. Jack Hinman, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Engage Young Adult Transitions. They explore why today’s youth are facing rising levels of anxiety, disconnection, and stalled independence. Dr. Jack shares how the pandemic exposed—not created—this crisis, emphasizing the breakdown in real-world connections, lack of resiliency, and the cultural shift toward canceling rather than engaging in growth-building relationships. The conversation dives into Dr. Jack’s unique model of therapeutic support that goes beyond traditional therapy, helping young adults build sustainable habits, systems, and emotional resilience while fostering independence.

ABOUT THE GUEST:
Dr. Jack Hinman is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with young adults in diverse therapeutic settings, from inpatient hospitals to outdoor therapy programs. As founder of Engage Young Adult Transitions, Dr. Jack helps young people build real-life skills, navigate anxiety, and foster identity formation through a combination of therapeutic guidance, community connection, and practical support systems.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Today’s youth struggle with anxiety rooted in disconnection, not just mental health issues.

  • Social avoidance during and after the pandemic has magnified anxiety and stalled identity development.

  • Effective support requires consistent, relationship-based influence rather than control.

  • Building systems and habits (not rigid goals) fosters long-term independence.

  • Parents also need to develop resiliency to support their struggling children without over-controlling.

  • Engage’s integrated model blends therapy, coaching, academic support, and daily living skills to empower young adults.
