Kristen Harris, M.S., APC, NCC

Associate Professional Counselor

(she/her/hers)

Hi! I’m Kristen, a therapist who believes that recovery is possible! My goal is to offer a brave space for folks to feel empowered by finding and using their voice, breaking down cultural barriers and expectations, and defying society's unfair stigma and stereotypes. 

Whether you are in active addiction, in recovery, or a family member trying to support a loved one, I am here to support you. I also specialize in adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, & complicated grief. 

​

As a clinician, I work out of Relational Cultural Theory. However, I use a variety of approaches to meet the unique needs of each client including Trauma-Informed Care, Narrative & Art Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe that a healthy relationship with oneself and community is vital for recovery from addiction, trauma, and grief. I want to empower my clients to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and their community to find balance between their mind, body, & soul. My aim is to empower clients to be their authentic selves through self-discovery and healthy relationships built on mutual empathy and respect. 

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my spoiled pup, gardening, and reading everything except romance novels. I will gladly take any and all reading recommendations! 

I graduated from Mercer University and currently hold my APC and NCC license. I am working towards full licensure in the state of Georgia, under the supervision of Rachel Ryan, LPC, CPCS.

Kristen is currently seeing clients virtually Monday to Thursday and in person on Saturday.
