My name is Sharika Pruitt and I am currently acting as Executive Clinical Director for my group private practice. I have over a decade of experience in working as a general community mental health practitioner and I have had the privilidge of working with children, adolescents and adults who were experiencing emotional and cognitive disruptions. I reside in Alabama but I am licensed in both Alabama and Georgia as a fully licensed mental health counselor.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first visit will be very warm and welcoming even though it will be presented via video. I am very personable and welcoming to all of my clients and I will support you every step of the way with completing your intake assessment and I welcome all questions regarding how your treatment will go. Our first visit will be us getting to know each other and Identifying if you feel comfortable with me as a counselor. As a seasoned counselor, I believe your mental health journey should include you properly vetting your counselor to make sure they will be able to meet your needs. I am open to meeting you where you are and will do so without passing any judgement. You are in the driver seat of your healing and I am priveledged to have a passenger seat to assist you along the way.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider is my interesting background and how it shaped me to become an amazing therapist with a realistic view of how the world works. I also have worked with various populations and have served small rural town communities to large city areas with great success. I am also an African American woman and single mother who has faced a multitude of challenges myself. This creates a space of empathy and compassion when working with my clients. My mission to serve others in improving their mental health gives me a sense of pride and purpose. I am a great listener, I am personable and I will offer realistic solutions to assist you with solving your problems. I am a very positive person and will challenge individuals to focus on positive aspects of their lives until they reach their goals. I also show up for my clients consistently and will communicate if I am unable to make our appointments ahead of schedule. If there is an emergency, I will do my best to ensure that you are informed of any changes ahead of time.
