Samia Said

Samia Said, LMSW, is a trauma focused therapist, licensed social worker, and nonprofit founder based in the Washington, D.C. area. Her work centers around helping people move through emotional overwhelm, intergenerational pain, relationship challenges, and life transitions with honesty, care, and a deep respect for their story.

Samia is known for her ability to connect people. Her strength lies in creating spaces where individuals feel safe to be real, and where healing becomes possible through genuine connection. Whether in therapy, community settings, or systems level advocacy, she brings cultural sensitivity, practical insight, and emotional depth into every conversation.

She is the cofounder of The Ideal Pathway, a nonprofit supporting families impacted by incarceration, violence, and systemic harm. The organization serves as a navigation hub for healing, justice, and long term support. Samia also brings over six years of experience in real estate investment focused on stabilizing historically excluded communities in Baltimore.

Her perspective is grounded in lived experience as the daughter of immigrants, shaped by years of clinical training, and sharpened by real work in the spaces where systems fail people. She speaks on trauma, healing, family dynamics, emotional regulation, grief, attachment, and the process of rebuilding after being overlooked or underestimated.
