Amy Pruitt , LMFT

Amy Pruitt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience working primarily in community mental health settings. Her career has included in-home family services, community agency work in nonprofit mental health clinics, and outpatient support for residential substance abuse treatment programs, giving her a broad familiarity with diverse client needs and service environments.

Amy typically works with adults from roughly 20 to 95 years of age and focuses on trauma, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, family-of-origin concerns, parent coaching, relationship dynamics, and communication challenges. She also supports people coping with addictions, bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, career stress, compassion fatigue, and a range of mood and anxiety issues.

Her therapeutic style is conversational and intentionally engaging, built on a systemic, strengths-oriented perspective. She frequently draws on narrative methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques, and integrates contextual approaches alongside experiential exercises and skill teaching. The work centers on clarifying the goals a client wants to reach, identifying existing strengths and resources, and using those elements together with practical skills to move toward change.

Amy emphasizes education, hands-on practice, and collaborative exploration so that clients gain insight, acquire useful tools, and build confidence to manage future challenges.
