“Sabrina is not only a professional but also a friend. At least that’s how it seems when you have a session with her. You don’t feel like you’re going to therapy, you feel like you’re speaking with someone youve known forever. She’s brilliant, caring, and most importantly a great listener. If you book a session with her, you certainly won’t regret it. ”

Getting to know Sabrina Ferreira

At Dear Pretty Mind, I provide individualized therapy for adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, communication struggles, boundary-setting, and major life transitions. My approach focuses on exploring the underlying patterns and experiences that influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building practical coping strategies tailored to each client’s needs. I integrate evidence-based techniques to support emotional regulation, strengthen resilience, and promote self-awareness. Sessions are designed to be collaborative and reflective, allowing clients to process past experiences, clarify values, and develop actionable tools for managing current stressors. I work with clients to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, reinforce adaptive coping strategies, and create sustainable changes that improve overall well-being. Clients often come seeking guidance through life transitions such as career changes, family adjustments, or relationship challenges. Others seek support in navigating ongoing struggles with self-confidence, perfectionism, or difficulty setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. Each session is tailored to the individual’s goals and pace, creating a safe and supportive environment for growth and self-discovery. Through consistent practice, clients develop greater emotional insight, improved coping skills, and increased confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When working with me, clients can expect a collaborative and supportive approach tailored to their individual needs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you are encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My style is warm, reflective, and empathetic, with a focus on helping you gain insight into the patterns that influence your emotions and behaviors. I integrate evidence-based techniques to support emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth. Sessions may include exploring underlying beliefs, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing practical coping strategies that you can apply in your daily life. I often combine approaches to best meet your goals, including techniques that address anxiety, depression, self-esteem, communication challenges, boundary-setting, and life transitions. In our work together, I emphasize collaboration: you are an active participant in shaping the focus and pace of therapy. We will explore both immediate challenges and long-term goals, with attention to building skills that promote emotional balance, self-awareness, and confidence. I also help clients navigate relationship challenges, career or life transitions, and the ongoing process of self-discovery. You can expect sessions to be structured yet flexible, addressing your priorities while adapting to the issues that arise in the moment. My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we will develop tools and strategies to manage stress, strengthen coping skills, and cultivate a greater sense of clarity, balance, and well-being in your life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session begins with checking in about your current experiences, including emotions, stressors, and any recent events that may be affecting your well-being. I prioritize understanding your unique context, including your personal history, goals, and current challenges. Early sessions often focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance, clarifying your objectives for therapy, and collaboratively identifying the areas of life you most want to address. I use a client-centered, evidence-based approach tailored to your needs. Sessions may include reflective discussion, cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness and grounding techniques, or other tools to help you manage stress, regulate emotions, and increase self-awareness. For clients processing trauma, anxiety, or intense emotional experiences, I may incorporate trauma-informed or EMDR-informed interventions to safely address underlying patterns and promote healing. We also work on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, exploring beliefs and behaviors that contribute to challenges, and developing practical coping strategies to implement in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and flexible: while we may follow a structured plan based on your goals, we adapt to address the issues that are most pressing in the moment. Over time, clients gain insight into their patterns, develop skills to manage difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in navigating life transitions. Progress is reviewed regularly, and sessions are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for reflection, problem-solving, and personal growth. My goal is to help you leave each session feeling understood, equipped, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

My favorite new therapist! Only therapist I feel like I can be completely honest with and she gives really good feedback as well.
Sabrina is not only a professional but also a friend. At least that’s how it seems when you have a session with her. You don’t feel like you’re going to therapy, you feel like you’re speaking with someone youve known forever. She’s brilliant, caring, and most importantly a great listener. If you book a session with her, you certainly won’t regret it.
Sabrina has been incredibly supportive in helping me work through family dynamics and build my self-esteem. From the first session, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up about personal challenges. She helped me better understand my patterns within family relationships and guided me in setting healthier boundaries without guilt. I’ve also noticed a significant improvement in how I view myself, feeling more confident, grounded, and emotionally aware. Sabrina is attentive, compassionate, and offers practical tools that I can actually use in my daily life. I always leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more empowered. The zoom option is so convenient. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their self-esteem or navigate family-related concerns.
I never really believed in therapy but I must say that I should have done it way earlier. With this therapist at least… Sabrina did EMDR and I feel lighter than I have felt since my adult life.
I had an excellent experience with Dear Pretty Mind. Sabrina was warm, attentive, and truly listened to what I was going through. Every session felt safe and supportive, and I saw real progress in my self-awareness and coping skills. Scheduling through Zocdoc/ website was easy, and communication was clear and professional. I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for compassionate and effective therapy.
