Kathleen Puckett's Story
Where to begin. As you can see by my picture, I have made many trips around the moon. My hope is that my age brings experience to the table. I received my education from the school of hard knocks, however that will not get you a professional license to practice.. Therefore, I received a Bachelor's Degree from Dominican University in Chicago and a Master's Degree from Saint Joseph University in West Hartford, CT. As the years went on, I sought out further education in Substance Abuse, Sex Addiction, and WPATH Standards of Care. I have worked in community based care, inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, private practice and jail-based treatment. I believe in what I do. I believe everyone deserves a chance for peace in their life. Let's face your challenges and fears together. I promise I will show up for you, and if you do the same, we will be a winning team.
My Expertise
Kathleen Puckett, LPC-MH, is a Reality Therapist. In plain language that means I don't sugar coat what is happening with your life. If you are a train- wreck, that is okay. I can start from there. Most likely if you are on my web page, things are not going so well. Great place to start. I have been working in the field for a long time. Nothing shocks me. If you are willing, I am too. Sometimes the only way is up.
LGBTQIA+
Welcome to a gay friendly site. I am a LILLE (Late in Life Lesbian). I came out to the public at the age of 45. I get the fear of finding a therapist who understands our community. I have been trained in the WPATH Standards of Care for anyone who is seeking help with transitioning. Please reach out. Life does get better.
Legal issues: Mandated Substance Abuse Counseling
I have a background in providing jail-based treatment and after care probation requirements from your J&S (Judgement and Sentencing). I can help you meet these requirements so you can get off paper. I do on-line counseling and will accommodate your schedule.
I understand the need to work.
Is anyone listening . . . .
If you are on this webpage, you may be searching for someone to listen to you. You may have spent your life silently screaming for help. And you may have self-medicated your anxiety, trauma, and depression with some sort of addictive behavior. Addiction can destroy your life, relationships, work, and health. If that is the case, you might want to give me or another professional a call.
