Four TLCC Staff Members Become Candidates for Licensing
January 31, 2022
Four members of the Transforming Life Counseling Center staff have graduated from their master’s programs and moved to candidate status in their journey to become licensed counselors.
- Kristen Hatton is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. She received her master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University. As a pastor’s wife, Christian author and speaker, Kristen felt led to a midlife career pivot in pursuing counseling after many years of lay counseling. Kristen has written three books for teenagers, one specifically addressing adolescent girls’ struggle for identity and worth. Her writing can be found on her own website, www.kristenhatton.com.
- Jessica Dixon-Neal is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. She received her master's in clinical mental health counseling from John Brown University. She received her undergraduate degree in art education. As an artist herself, she incorporates more creative approaches in her work with individuals. As a former middle school teacher and a mom of three, she has a front row seat to the challenges that women, young adults and teens face.
- Lynett Cram is a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) Candidate. She received her master’s in addictions counseling at University of Central Oklahoma. Lynett holds a master’s in Community Counseling and bachelor’s in psychology with a minor in child development psychology from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Her personal experiences, including receiving her own counseling as well as serving in the Oklahoma Army National Guard, led Lynett to become a counselor so she could help others in their recovery journey.
- Sarah Vidrine is Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. She received her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Liberty University. Sarah received her bachelor’s in communication studies with a concentration in gender communication from Louisiana Tech University. Sarah’s love for helping others overcome life’s challenges stems from early on in her life when she personally experienced how life-changing counseling can be.
