Comprehensive Intervention Planning


Working with Samara has added so much wisdom and clarity for developing an educational strategy for our child who struggles in a traditional school framework. They provide a voice of reason and are able to share referrals and resources that make it infinitely easier to navigate the options. Samara has been a huge support to me and my family and we are so lucky to have had a chance to work with them.

Effective Crisis Management


Samara was instrumental in guiding my husband and me when we were in dire need of help dealing with our nephew in crisis. They introduced us to a wealth of resources, and ultimately connected us to the perfect educational consultant. Nina is warm, smart, and astute, and is an invaluable asset to any family needing support.

Working with Samara, I felt seen and heard…

… and I became less reactive in my decision-making about how to support our son. I also felt reassured that professionals understand the challenges my son was facing, and knew how to address them in an effective and respectful manner.

The deep listening and wise advice that Samara offered to us were invaluable gifts in our times of great fear and confusion. They provided our family with needed context and direction when we were in times of overwhelm and struggle. Nina’s compassion, knowledge, and understanding were like an oasis. I will be forever grateful to her for her generous, heartfelt guidance and support. Thank you, Samara, from the depths of my heart!!!
