About Greta

The Journey is Long and Often Winding

Greta Harman is a board certified educational therapist in Orange County, California who provides 100% individualized, research-based and brain-based interventions and programs for children who may be struggling in school and/or home.  It is her passion to help children build confidence and develop self-esteem along with remediating and solidifying the skills that are most challenging for your child. Whether they be academic, cognitive, social-emotional or self regulation skills, Greta helps each child learn HOW to learn; placing a significant emphasis on teaching each child to be mindful of each successful step taken through the long and often winding journey. Greta helps each child become a champion of learning, even when it is challenging and frustrating.  

Greta combines research-based methods and programs with patient, 100% individualized instruction to help her students achieve their goals. Her students learn to advocate for themselves and feel empowered by their learning style strengths all while building their weaknesses in a positive, safe environment. With this new self-confidence and a solid learning foundation, students build on this foundation, new and more difficult skills which pave the way for a lifetime of success. 

Out of her office in Costa Mesa, Greta works with children of all ages and abilities who each have unique learning profiles that Greta builds an intervention program around. Greta works with a collaborative team including:
  • parents
  • teachers
  • speech pathologists
  • occupational therapists
  • psychologists
  • MDs
to help support each child and address their individual needs.

Lasting Success

Children who struggle in school or at home often feel frustrated, sad, anxious and worried. Greta specializes in the interplay of emotions and learning. Her students begin to understand how their own brain works and how to harness the power of their very own, built-in super computer! Children who work with Greta learn to embrace the uniqueness of their hard wiring by gaining a deep understanding of their learning style through which they gain feelings of competency, and develop strategies for success in the present but more importantly, for a lifetime. 

Greta's students demonstrate improved foundational processing skills, literacy skills and study habits, better self-awareness and self-regulation, changed attitudes, and greater resilience. 
Best of all, they learn to love learning again.

    Success Stories and Inspiration

“He went from hating to read to loving it and carrying a book with him everywhere. Tommy is now reading on grade level and continues to practice the rules and strategies that he learned with Greta. Even more important, Tommy began to understand how HIS brain worked which was empowering and helped him feel confident to advocate for himself."
~ Nancy Juster



"...With Greta, you’re getting more than an educational therapist; you're getting an addition to the family. Greta is someone who genuinely cares. She will answer your panic ridden text messages on a Sunday evening, she will take her personal time to come see your child perform on stage, she is someone who wants to see your child succeed as much as you do.  The only difference is Greta has the tools and expertise to make it happen!”
