Let us help your family learn to thrive.
This is a tough time. Your teen or young adult is struggling.
I understand. I’ve been there, too. My family was our first client.
When our own daughter began to struggle, I created a comprehensive skills development process to help us change what was happening. It worked. Our family learned to heal, and then thrive.
And so I left my career as a consultant to organizations like the United Nations to create a company that teaches other families how to heal and grow.
How?
Samara Family Services builds healthier teens and happier families through training, mentoring, and care coordination.
Our focus is helping struggling teens and their families learn to grow so they can heal.
When there’s a gap between who your teen can be and where they are today, we’ll show you how to make the changes necessary to live your family’s best life. We provide the roadmap for moving forward again, and support you each step of the way.
Does your teen need help now?
We’re a unique program that bridges the large gap between individual therapy and intensive programs like outpatient treatment. We provide a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum integrating every aspect of a young adult’s life: academic, social, physical, emotional, and functional life skills. We help your young person understand their strengths, regain their motivation, and rebuild trust as a foundation for learning to heal and thrive.
We help you heal at home by building a nest of care and support in your own home. We provide high-touch, hands-on support for Bay Area families with teens navigating a range of stress-based issues, including lack of motivation, feeling overwhelmed with school, and difficulties with friends and family.
We focus on serving the whole child and the whole family, not simply individual diagnoses or service needs. We coordinate care, mentor to provide emotional support for better decision-making, and train to build life skills to address needs across a range of issues.
We use a structured assessment and training process to help your teen and family learn how to build the skills needed to live a happier, more productive life. Our training is supported by an extensive, evidence-based curriculum, developed in-house and using the best scientific practices, to provide comprehensive, integrated support no matter what help your family needs.
Our promise: we believe deeply in your family’s ability to change what’s happening, and provide you the tools and training to make your hope for a calmer, healthier future a reality.
