Lena Priest

Lena joined the CPC team full-time in June of 2023 after spending almost 20 years as a teacher, school counselor, and even a school bus driver!  She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Education and a Master's Degree in School Counseling and is a Nationally Board Certified School Counselor.  She enjoys using the skills and knowledge gained in her previous career to help people in her community get connected to the counseling care and resources they need.  Lena is excited to join her husband, Jon, to help run CPC's growing clinics, and will often be found around the Central Arkansas area at events telling people what CPC has to offer.  While she has long been a part of the behind the scenes planning and development of CPC, she is thrilled to now be able to devote more time and energy to helping people find healing and support through the community of Christ and the science of counseling.

When she isn't working, Lena loves spending time watching her three children at their extracurricular activities.  In her free time, Lena enjoys reading, baking, crafting, and vacationing with her family!  She hopes to one day write a blog about her family's road trips to National Parks.  She is also a committed member of her church where she teaches Sunday School and volunteers in many outreach ministries.
