About

Vanessa Pruitt, MS, PLMHP

I am a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Nebraska – Kearney and my Master's of Science in Clinical Psychology from Emporia State University. I completed my internship at Wichita State University, providing individual and group counseling, ADHD, learning disorder, and personality assessments.

I work with clients of all ages, including children and teens ages 3-17 and adults. I'm a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) specializing in treating trauma and complex trauma (c-PTSD), with additional training in attachment-based interventions. I am actively working toward registered play therapy (RPT) certification and have training in sandtray therapy.


I'm also a certified provider of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), an evidence-based treatment for attention and focus, auditory sensitivities, behavior regulation and resilience, auditory processing, sleep, and issues related to trauma, anxiety, sensory processing, attachment, ADHD, Autism and more.

I enjoy spending time with my four boys when I am not seeing clients. If you live in Nebraska and are interested in working with me, you can contact me at Alfrey and Pruitt Counseling.
