Cara Pruitt, LPC

Cara Pruitt recognizes that choosing a counselor can feel overwhelming, and she aims to make the process as accessible and reassuring as possible. She creates a supportive, accepting environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore their concerns with compassion and attentive, objective listening. Together with each person she works with, she helps develop a practical plan to navigate difficult seasons, prepare for upcoming transitions, or continue on an established path.

Cara focuses on empowering people to overcome personal obstacles and improve their relationships through clinically tested interventions. She believes healthy relationships contribute to overall well-being and enjoys working with individuals, families, and couples to restore communication, understanding, and connection. Restoring intimacy and fostering relationships built on respect, trust, and care are central aims of her work.

She uses an eclectic approach to create customized treatment plans tailored to specific needs and goals. Examples of therapeutic approaches she may draw from include cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, attachment theory, solution-focused techniques, and dialectical behavior treatment. Cara views people as continually seeking growth and renewal, and she supports clients in meeting personal and professional goals as they move toward their fullest potential.

Cara holds two master’s degrees - one in Leadership and another in Counseling - and she is also a nurse. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that indicates professional training and licensure in counseling. Her combined education and clinical experience inform a whole-person approach to care. She looks forward to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they begin their work toward healthier relationships and personal growth.
