Something isn’t working anymore
When the questions get deeper,
give yourself the space to explore them.
Sometimes the strategies that have served you well no longer work. The life you've built may look successful by every conventional measure, yet something feels unsettled. You may understand yourself deeply and still find that something isn't shifting.
This is an opportunity to step outside your usual roles and responsibilities and give your own experience your full attention.
Plum and Libby bring complementary expertise and a deeply collaborative approach to individualized intensives designed around you—where you are, what you're navigating, and what you're ready to explore.
Knowing and being are not the same. Our work creates space to move beyond insight alone and explore what becomes possible when understanding is integrated through emotional experience, the body, and new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Together, we bring distinct, deeply complementary skill sets and an uncommon ability to hold the complexity of the whole person. Drawing on psychological understanding, emotions, the nervous system, attachment, and embodied experience, we work with you to explore what's keeping you stuck and discover new possibilities.
Our work often resonates with executives, therapists, physicians, behavioral health leaders, and others accustomed to holding responsibility for others. It is equally suited to people at a turning point in life, when deeper questions are surfacing and familiar ways of coping no longer feel sufficient.
Every intensive begins with listening and is shaped around the person—not a predetermined program.

Consultant | Psychotherapist | Coach
Nadejda Razi Robertson, known as Plum, has a doctorate in behavioral health (DBH) and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
She is Managing Director and Lead Consultant at Synergy Health Consulting, and also works through Plum Consulting, LLC. She is a practicing therapist, offering therapy intensives rather than weekly hourly sessions; a licensure supervisor; and an educator focused on workplace wellness.
She grew up near Blue Hill and moved back unexpectedly. Since returning, she has been building The Pond Retreat on Walker Pond in Sedgwick.
The through-line in everything she does is seeing people, organizations, communities, and systems clearly; helping them navigate complexity and difficult transitions; building alignment across different perspectives and sectors; and turning shared insight into practical, coordinated action.

What Clients Say
The best place to begin is a conversation.
We'll talk about what you're navigating, what you're hoping to explore, and which format, or combination of support, makes the most sense for you.
There's no need to have everything figured out before we talk.
