Cristina Puckett, LCSW
I am a mental health professional who is passionate about providing support to people
on their life’s journey.
Raised in a military family with all that it entails, I developed open-mindedness
and a strong appreciation for the richness that diversity offers. Since my first psychology
class, I’ve been intrigued by mental health and how it affects every aspect of a person’s
life, such as relationships, emotional well-being, and behaviors.
Pursuing my interest, I earned an Associate’s of Arts at National Park College (NPC)
in 2016 before continuing on for a Master’s in Social Work from University of Arkansas
at Little Rock in 2019.
Since then, I’ve continued to interact with people from diverse backgrounds, working
with them to meet mental health needs by offering a person-centered approach paired
with my natural inclination to empathy, genuineness, critical thinking, and focus
on solutions. As a licensed certified social worker (LCSW), I have expertise in many
areas, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance misuse, relationship issues,
and life transitions.
Now working at NPC as a Behavior Intervention Specialist, I’ve come full circle back to my roots. I’m pleased to be a part of the growth here and to offer my services to students, staff, and faculty.
