Amy Pruitt is an excellent therapist. She is knowledgeable & savvy. Amy's style feels comfortable and approachable. I've never felt judged or nervous to share my thoughts and feelings. She has a way of making you feel safe and free to share anything. She is an active listener who has a talent for helping me find answers I didn't know I had in me. Therapy can be hard work, but with Amy it seems possible to reach some mental health goals that previously felt completely out-of-reach. Amy also has a clever sense of humor which she uses at just the right times. I've been very satisfied with the work I've done with Amy's help.

More about Amy
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with nearly 20+ years of experience. My work has generally been in community mental health, in a variety of settings, including in home family services, community agency based work in nonprofit mental health clinics, and outpatient clinic supporting residential substance abuse treatment programs. I have experience treating clients in all life cycle stages, but generally work best with clients from 20 years to 95 years in age. My strongest areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, transitions, grief and loss issues, family of origin, parent coaching, relationship dynamics and communication.
My therapeutic style is very conversational, and intentionally designed to feel more personal and engaging. Most of my clients say that they have "never been to a therapist" like me. I have a systemic orientation that focuses on strengths, and utilizes narrative therapy, with a heavy emphasis on contextual, CBT, EMDR, and some DBT. The general goal of therapy is to determine the goals you want to reach, identify the useful skills , resources and strengths in your life that already exist and utilize the three to achieve your goals. I will teach you skills, provide psycho education and insight, and engage you in treatment modality exercises throughout the therapy experience. Along the way you will discover how many of the answers you already had, and develop confidence in your self for the future.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amy is great! She creates an environment where you can be free to be your entire self and listens without judgment. She's also a great person to bounce ideas off of when you need to engage in problem solving various areas of your life. She's very supportive, and listens well.
Listens well. Is very caring and responds in a way that is an easy way to understand. I am very thankful
