Bio:   My name is Sabrina Joiner, and I have a background in psychology, school psychology, and education. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master's degrees in School Psychology and Human Resources Management. Throughout my career, I have worked with students and families in educational settings, supporting academic growth, learning differences, and individualized educational planning. My experiences as an academic coach, homeschool consultant, and parent have deepened my passion for helping students develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning. I am pursuing NILD Educational Therapy training because I believe in addressing the underlying cognitive processes that impact learning, rather than simply accommodating weaknesses. I am excited to continue growing professionally and to equip families with effective, research-based tools that help students reach their God-given potential. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy homeschooling my daughters, supporting homeschool families, and developing educational resources through Woven Minds Education.

Bio:   This is my first year as a Level 1 Educational Therapist, and I’m excited to bring my background in special education and 11 years of teaching experience in homeschooling, public schools, and private schools into this new role. I’m passionate about helping students become confident, independent learners by uncovering their unique strengths and addressing areas of weakness through research-based NILD techniques. It is a privilege to provide individualized therapy that equip students with the skills they need to grow academically and personally. Most importantly, I’m passionate about helping every child recognize their God-given potential and providing the support they need to fulfill the plans God has for their lives. Jeremiah 29:11
