Debra Pruitt

Debra Pruitt, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience in Frisco, takes a client-centered approach to therapy, addressing the issues that cause distress in her clients’ lives. She emphasizes the development and enhancement of quality of life by exploring the influence of family origin and addressing self-defeating behaviors that can hinder the process of change. Clients are encouraged to delve into their thought distortions and work towards correcting them, fostering improvements in their quality of life. Debra specializes in mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, and promotes a collaborative approach by encouraging teamwork with primary care doctors, ob/gyns, or psychiatrists to facilitate rapid symptom relief. In her practice, she focuses not only on cognitive changes that support lasting, positive transformation but also offers the innovative modality of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in Celina, Texas. This unique therapy involves horses and combines the efforts of a mental health professional, an equine specialist, and the client to create an experiential and dynamic learning environment. Equine therapy is particularly effective in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and substance abuse, benefiting individuals from all walks of life.
