MEGAN PRUETTE
Psychiatrist
My psychiatric treatment is built upon closely listening to and understanding my patients and how they want to change in their life.
I am a dedicated psychiatrist specializing in personalized therapy and medication management for adults. With a compassionate approach and evidence-based techniques, I strive to support each individual’s unique journey toward mental wellness. My goal is to create a safe, respectful environment where clients feel empowered to achieve lasting positive change. Based in Durham, NC, I am committed to helping you take the first step toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
