Mrs. Cara is an amazing listener, encourager and great accountability. I love the “homework” that she encouraged me to do and wanting me to continue to take steps to improve. So thankful for the time I got to spend with her and I have recommended many friends to Faithful Counseling since I started.

I understand, it's hard to know how to select the right counselor to help you begin your counseling with you. It is my goal to help your process be as easy as it can be by providing you a safe, supportive, and accepting environment to explore your unique journey. I offer compassion and objective listening. Together we can orchestrate the best plan to help you through a difficult time, prepare for your next adventure or to continue on your current path.
It is my goal to empower individuals, families, and couples to overcome personal obstacles in order to improve their relationships by using clinically tested interventions. Healthy relationships can improve overall well-being. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples.
I take an eclectic approach when formulating a customized treatment plan that best fits your specific needs and goals. Examples of approaches I might work from are cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, attachment theory, solution-focused, or dialectical behavioral treatment. I believe people are constantly seeking to grow, renew themselves and blossom into their fullest potential. It is my goal to assist you in successfully meeting your personal and professional goals and becoming who you are longing to be.
I hold two Master's Degrees; one in Leadership and another in Counseling; and I am also a nurse. I believe my educational background and work experience assists me in approaching and treating the whole person.
I would be delighted to help your family become engaged again with positive communication, better understanding of one another, and even the return of laughter.
I have a passion for restoring intimate relationships to their healthiest state. Relationships with respect, trust, and love with the most important people in your lives.
I am looking forward to working with you-select me as your therapist and let's get started on your journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Cara is very professional and a great listener! She has helped me realize things that I never thought someone else would understand. Life can be hard and it’s good to talk to someone without judgment and an unbiased perspective. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Cara!
She's doing well.
How should one feel these days? How to process the stream of crises, and growing emotional numbness? That's what therapy is for.
I've been out of therapy for a couple years. Depression never left, but is bad enough to require talking to someone.
Cara is very insightful and kind spirited. I enjoy working with her!
I like that Cara coaches me on how to respond in a calmer way, especially when I’m feeling uncomfortable or attacked. So very nice to have the support too. Thank you, Cara
Mrs. Pruitt helped me learn how to challenge my work anxiety, helped me build a plan that worked for managing that anxiety while working, and was always kind and understanding when I felt like I was overwhelming her. She's great at her job, and has a wonderful energy around her when we talk. 10/10 would recommend
Shes amazing she has helped me in all areas of my life, I feel like I've over come so much in just a few weeks
She is very patient and understanding. She is also very positive and caring
Ms. Pruitt is a great counselor to talk to because she is very understanding and non judgmental. I’m really glad I was able to talk with such a kind woman.
Cara is understanding and supportive. She offers actionable solutions. She listens and is very flexible with meeting times. I was hesitant of getting therapist but after my first session with Cara I was so happy with my decision!
Cara has been there with sound advise and helped me through one of the most difficult time of my life. She gives a tough but caring approach to helping with my issues.
Cara has made a true difference in my life at one of my hardest times by helping me focus through the storm and start getting to what matters most. In a short time, I was able to start seeing things more quickly and make action plans in the best interest for me for the first time in years.
Cara is very helpful and listens to your concerns. She is receptive to hearing about your issues and helping with solutions. She returns messages in a timely manner.
Cara has helped me tremendously identify some things in my life I was not aware of and has helped develop some steps to change them.
