Shanekwa Pruitt

My communication style

I listen first, inquire second, and check for understanding always. Creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment is my ultimate goal. If we're working through something hard, expect me to lean in, be present, and journey with you through it.

My journey to mental healthcare

Life truly helped me become a therapist. My early experience with grief and loss taught me compassion. A challenging journey to motherhood led me to understanding. The many transitions I've endured taught me about resilience. My passion to help others grow led me to build a therapy practice.

My goals for you

I work daily to help clients navigate from struggle to beauty. I actively listen and validate your experiences. I become your partner in identifying difficulties, goals, wants, and needs. I employ intentional tools and methods to bring about change that is meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

In the first session, I work to get to know you as a whole. My primary focus is to ensure you feel seen, heard, and supported. I will ask clarifying questions to better understand how you feel, your past experiences, and concerns. We'll identify your strengths, existing supports, and desired treatment goals.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
