Meet Sabrina
REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST
FOUNDER
Sabrina Puente BA, BEd, MSW, RSW
I am a registered social worker with 14 years of psychotherapy experience and 3 years of art therapy experience with individuals, couples, and families. With a focus on trauma and attachment, I blend evidence-based approaches like Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and attachment-focused adult psychotherapy techniques to provide personalized care for each individual/couple. For couples, I provide Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy and other attachment-focused approaches to help partners deepen their connection, navigate conflict, and build secure, fulfilling relationships.
I provide a supportive, person-centred, and integrative approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with the transformative power of art therapy (if desired). Incorporating art therapy into my practice allows individuals/couples to tap into their creativity as a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. Whether through words, art, or a combination of both, my role is to help you to rewrite your story, reconnect with yourself/each other, and move toward a brighter future.
I believe that counselling is a deeply personal and collaborative process. Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges, working through the impacts of past trauma, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself and/or your partner, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward growth, connection, and healing.
