Sandra Vilar-Ferreira

I have worked with the child welfare system and in Residential treatment for over 20 years. I specialize in family and individual work and have done group work as well. I have several certificates in trauma training and a Certificate in Complex Trauma training, received in January of 2020. I believe in treating clients with respect and dignity and seeking their internal strength and drive in the face of adversity.

I have training in several models, but utilize components of these models to treat each individual. I do a comprehensive assessment of needs before developing a treatment plan with a client. All clients are involved in the development of their own treatment plan, regardless of age.

They will feel heard and validated and will leave with a sense of direction and hope. I am strengths based in my approach.
