My primary focus is working with people who have experienced trauma, and I work with children as young as 4 through adults of any age.
Hi, my name is Kristin Pruitt, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My focus is to help you feel empowered and confident to overcome your challenges, as well as gaining tools to best help you manage and thrive in all areas of your life! As a neurodiverse person I know what it's like to be in a position where people assume you can learn in the "standard" way. Some people are auditory learners, but many are also visual and tactile learners, so I want to be able to meet you where you are and provide the assistance you need to learn. I use movement, art, games, music, and many other creative methods in my therapeutic approach.

I have 25 years of experience working with children/adolescents and their families, and I want to help your family thrive.
Being a young person today is hard! Navigating pressures at home and school while balancing a social life can feel overwhelming at times. Often, young people have trouble making sense of their world, figuring out where they "fit", and managing their behavior and emotions. They may act out, withdraw from others, or make questionable choices. My focus involves supporting and educating young people and their families so they can manage intense feelings and communicate more effectively. We will pay special attention to developing coping and problem-solving skills while learning how thoughts, feelings, and actions are related.

Being a human is hard sometimes. Life throws all sorts of challenges your way, and it can be difficult to manage things on your own. You may feel disconnected from support systems, or in need of a safe space to express yourself. Hopefully therapy can be a place to process, heal, build upon your strengths, and help get to a place where life feels back on track. I have experience supporting clients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, Autism Spectrum disorder, self-exploration, self-esteem, relationship issues and other life stressors. I also have experience working with individuals from various cultural backgrounds.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Jackson County provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Jackson County build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
