Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Brannon Pruet. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Doc is a great therapist! He knows what to say to help me get through whatever I’m going through at that time. He checks in on me regularly and gets back to me in a timely manner as well. I wouldn’t be doing as good as I am right now without his help.
My children and I enjoy chatting with Dr. Pruet. He’s a good listener and he gives practical strategies that are applicable to us. We look forward to our sessions with him.
I wouldn’t be here without the help of Dr. Pruet. He has been an absolute lifesaver and I look forward to every session. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Dr Pruet!
Dr Pruet is a remarkable therapist. The way he speaks to you makes you feel comfortable and heard. He is extremely skilled at focusing on solutions and knows how to get right to them.
So down to earth and and never judgmental. Makes it easy to just talk.
Dr Pruet is a considerate therapist with experience to back up his natural talents. If it wasn’t for him, I would have been in a darker place. I owe the good doctor for teaching me the skills to manage my mental conditions, and for reframing my perspectives on life.
I know that Dr. Pruet understands our needs and has identified problem areas we need to work on. Especially me. I want to keep growing and be able to address any situation with confidence that I will make the right decision.all the time. My ways were failing and I was going to find myself with no relationship at all. I am so grateful that we are working together and I look forward to our next session. I can't wait to see what's in store for my partner and I's future. Thank you for your knowledge, experience and guidance Dr Pruet. God bless.
Great therapist. Could not be more pleased with my experience with Dr Pruett!
LOVE Dr. Pruet. He is very attentive to my needs. He regularly checks in on me to make sure I’m ok and he responds to my messages quickly. He is very knowledgeable in all things regarding my care. Dr. Pruet responds very well to my feedback whenever I’d like to try something different in my treatment plan. I felt an instant connection with him, which I was not expecting at all, because I usually stay away from all male therapists. He is very warm and welcoming, open and approachable. Anyone, male or female, with any kind of trauma in their past, would do well with Dr. Pruet.
