Integrative mental health care.

This is not rushed psychiatry. This is thoughtful, whole-person mental health care.

You might look “fine” on the outside—showing up, getting things done, pushing through—but inside you feel wired, exhausted, overwhelmed, or emotionally flat. Your mind won’t slow down. Your sleep isn’t restorative. Stress, anxiety, or burnout have quietly become your baseline.

And you’re tired of being told to just cope.

At Thoughtful Therapies, I help adults move through stress, anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm by addressing why this is happening—not by layering quick fixes on top. This is comprehensive, whole-person care for people who want clarity, steadiness, and lasting change… not rushed appointments or surface-level solutions.

Care built for people who already tried “the usual.”

As a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), I created Thoughtful Therapies to offer the kind of care I once searched for myself—and couldn’t find.

Care that recognizes your symptoms didn’t come out of nowhere.
Care that understands your nervous system, hormones, lifestyle, biology, and lived experience are all connected.
Care that slows down enough to actually listen.

This is not assembly-line psychiatry.
It’s intentional, collaborative, and deeply personalized.

Private-Pay: Space to finally go deeper

Private-pay care allows us to work without limits, pressure, or shortcuts.

No rigid visit lengths.
No insurance-driven checkboxes.
No forcing your experience into a diagnostic box that never quite fit.

Instead, you receive:

Unhurried sessions where your story is fully heard
Personalized, integrative treatment plans that may include psychotherapy, thoughtful medication management, nervous-system regulation, and lifestyle support
Functional and genetic testing when appropriate to uncover root contributors
Evidence-based natural and integrative supports chosen strategically—not trendy, not generic

Private pay is ideal for those who know there has to be more than symptom management—those ready to understand their patterns and create sustainable, long-term change.

The Thoughtful Therapies Difference

You’re not failing at coping.
And you’re not just a diagnosis here.

You’re a whole person whose nervous system has been carrying more than it was meant to for too long.

Together, we create a plan that restores clarity, steadies mood, and rebuilds resilience from the inside out—so calm becomes your baseline, not something you chase or perform for.

About Me

Sabrina Ritchie, NP

I’m a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC, AGNP-BC) and the founder of Thoughtful Therapies LLC.

If you’re exhausted from carrying too much for too long—pushing through stress, anxiety, or burnout just to keep going—you’re not alone. I know this territory personally, and that experience shapes how I care for others.

After nearly 20 years in healthcare, I saw how often people are rushed, reduced to symptoms, or expected to cope without real support. Thoughtful Therapies was created to offer something different: care that slows down, listens deeply, and treats you as a whole person.

My work is collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrative—blending psychotherapy, thoughtful medication management, and lifestyle-based supports when appropriate. Together, we focus on restoring calm, clarity, and resilience in a way that feels sustainable and true to you.

Here, you’re not a diagnosis or a checklist.
You’re a person—and your story matters.

Services Offered

Medication Management

Medication can be a helpful tool—but it’s only one piece of your mental health journey. I will explore all options with you and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and overall wellness. You’ll feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Therapy

IDgenetix® testing analyzes your unique genetic profile to guide safer, more effective medication choices. By understanding how your body metabolizes medications, I minimize trial-and-error prescribing and optimize your mental health treatment.

Lab Testing

Through Quest Diagnostics, I assess nutritional, hormonal, metabolic, and organ-function markers that can influence mental health. These insights help uncover root contributors to anxiety, depression, fatigue, or other symptoms, allowing me to tailor your care for safe, effective, whole-body support.

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.

Holistic Wellness Guidance

I help you create personalized strategies in nutrition, sleep, stress management, and movement that support both your mental and physical well-being. These approaches complement therapy, medication, and nervous system work, helping reduce symptoms and build lasting resilience, balance, and clarity. Together, we craft practical, realistic goals that fit your life and values.

Nervous System Regulation

Many people struggle with stress and emotional overwhelm because their nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown. Through guided NeuroRegulation Training, I teach your nervous system to reset, helping you reduce anxiety, improve sleep, stabilize mood, and feel grounded—often faster and more sustainably than traditional therapy alone.

Areas of Focus

While I work with a variety of concerns, I specialize in helping high-performing individuals navigate:

Anxiety

I can help you worry less, reduce panic attacks and obsessive behaviors, and function better at your job and in your relationships.

Sleep Disturbance

I help you identify and address the root causes of your sleep disturbances, so you can fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling truly rested.

Fatigue

I can help you uncover the root cause of your fatigue so you can power through your day with lasting energy—no more 2 PM crashes.

General Mental Health

I provide personalized support to help you navigate anxiety, depression, and other challenges, empowering you to feel balanced and resilient.

Burnout

I can help you regain energy, restore balance, and feel more motivated and fulfilled in both work and life.

Life Transitions

I guide individuals through major life changes, offering tools to adapt, find clarity, and thrive in new chapters of their journey.
