When a child thrives, their family, school, and community flourish too.
We believe that every individual deserves to be seen, heard, and understood for their unique strengths and talents.

By approaching challenges with a collaborative and objective mindset, we foster open communication, coordination, and collective problem-solving.

What Families Say About Us
"The birth of Nissa is going to lead to the light at the end of the tunnel for many children and their families. Meeting Aviva through Nissa for the first time gave me hope, strength and courage to be confident in the unique choices I made for my son and his future."
Sarah Cohen
"I am so impressed with Mrs. Vilenski's vision uniting the unique perspectives and skills of families, schools, and others in seeing the big picture in so many ways."
Dr. Mark Meer
PSY.D LPC, PSYCHOLOGIST AND
POST-DOCTORATE FELLOW
"Often, when there are roadblocks between parents and school it takes a third party to support everyone emotionally, and help them keep focus. The Nissa team has been an outstanding bridge in working through those emotions and crafting a plan for each individual child."
