Bethany Pruett

Bethany is a graduate student in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Mercer University. With her first career as a Speech-Language Pathologist, Bethany brings a rich understanding of communication, identity, and the impact of trauma and disability on relationships. She is especially passionate about working with individuals and couples navigating the intersections of intimacy, health, and identity.

Bethany is deeply affirming of all relationship structures and particularly enjoys working with polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous clients. Her clinical interests include attachment theory, systems theory, strategic therapy, and narrative therapy. She strives to create collaborative, nonjudgmental spaces where clients can explore their stories, reclaim their agency, and deepen their emotional and relational connections.

Drawing from multiple therapeutic models, Bethany tailors her approach to meet each client’s unique needs, with a special focus on integrating emotion, communication, and relational safety. Her work is informed by her belief that secure, authentic connection is both a basic human need and a powerful vehicle for healing.

Outside of therapy, Bethany is a vibrant part of the Atlanta arts community. She performs with a local cast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, regularly participates in the Atlanta Blues and Fusion dance scene, draws, and is an avid reader. She aims to bring that same creativity and openness into her clinical work, always striving to create a welcoming and supportive space for her clients.
