About Me

Sabrina Ritchie, PMHNP, AGNP

I’m Sabrina, a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner with near two decades of experience in healthcare – nine of those as an NP. But beyond the titles and certifications, I’m someone who deeply understands what it feels like to carry stress, anxiety, and burnout. I know how hard it can be to seek help and how frustrating it is to feel like just another appointment on a busy provider’s schedule.

That’s why I created Thoughtful Therapies – to offer something different. I believe mental health care should be as unique as the person receiving it. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take control of your well-being. I see you as the expert in your own experience, and I’m here to offer the tools and support that help you heal – in a way that truly resonates with who you are.

Why Work With Me?

I don’t believe in quick fixes or rushed care. Our sessions are longer, more comprehensive, and free from the limitations of insurance-driven practices. This means I can focus on treating the whole person – not just managing symptoms. I blend psychotherapy, medication management, lifestyle coaching, and plant-based medicine to offer integrative care that addresses the root causes of stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Working with me means investing in yourself at a deeper level. It’s not just about feeling better temporarily – it’s about creating lasting change that supports your growth, clarity, and peace of mind.

How Am I Different?

Most practices focus on fitting as many clients as possible into their schedules. I do the opposite. I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on, so I can offer undivided attention and personalized care. When we work together, you aren’t just a client – you’re someone I am deeply committed to supporting.

I chose the path of private pay because I believe healing shouldn’t be dictated by insurance checklists or time limits. This allows me to offer the kind of care I know makes the biggest difference – thoughtful, holistic, and grounded in trust.

A Bit About Me Personally…

My passion for mental health stems from my own experiences. During the height of the pandemic, I was working 12-hour shifts as a Nurse Practitioner while pregnant with my first child. I felt the weight of burnout and realized how essential it is to approach health from a whole-body perspective. That realization shaped how I practice today – with empathy, authenticity, and a strong belief that your well-being deserves to be prioritized.

If you’re ready to invest in yourself and take the next step toward feeling more grounded, at ease, and aligned – I’m ready to meet you there.

Let’s build something meaningful together.

Services Offered

Medication Management

While I recognize that medication can be a valuable tool in mental health care, but it’s not the only path to healing. Together, we’ll explore all options and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and overall wellness. My approach ensures you feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

Therapy

Through personalized therapy, I integrate mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based approaches to support your mental health journey. I'll tailor each session to fit your unique needs and goals. If a specialized technique outside my offerings could benefit you, I'll connect you with trusted resources from my extensive referral network, ensuring you receive the best possible care.

Lab Testing

Lab testing offered through Quest Diagnostics provides valuable insights into the physical factors that may influence your mental health. By assessing things like nutritional imbalances, hormone levels, and genetic markers, while also monitoring kidney and liver function, as well as metabolic status—areas that can be affected by psychopharmacologic medications. We can uncover underlying contributors to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and fatigue. These results allow us to tailor treatment plans that support your whole-body health, ensuring safe, effective, and optimized care.

Genetic Testing

IDgenetix genetic testing offers a personalized approach to mental health care by analyzing how your unique genetic makeup may affect your response to medications. This testing helps identify the most effective psychopharmacologic options while minimizing the risk of side effects. It also provides insights into how your body metabolizes medications, supporting safer dosing and reducing trial-and-error prescribing. By incorporating IDgenetix® results into your treatment plan, we can create a more precise, effective, and individualized path to mental wellness.

Lifestyle Coaching

Lifestyle coaching at Thoughtful Therapies focuses on empowering you to make sustainable changes that enhance your mental and physical well-being. By addressing areas like nutrition, sleep, stress management, and movement, I will create personalized strategies to support your overall health. This holistic approach complements other treatments, helping to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout while promoting long-term resilience and balance. Together, we’ll develop realistic, achievable goals that align with your lifestyle and values for lasting positive change.
