Kristen Harris APC, NCC

Specialist in Addiction Recovery, Complex Grief, & Relational Transitions

Convenient, Private Virtual Care Throughout Georgia

When you experience a profound loss, a catastrophic shift in your life, or find yourself trapped in a cycle of compulsive behavior, your entire world fragments. Whether you are navigating the agonizing grief of losing a loved one, processing a severe life transition, or watching a dependence on substances slowly erode your relationships and self-worth—the reality is simple: the way you used to cope is no longer working, and you are tired of just surviving.

You don't need a passive listener to ask how your week went. And you certainly don't need to feel judged or rushed into "getting over it."

I provide a highly specialized, sophisticated, and entirely confidential virtual space for high-functioning individuals and families navigating the complex terrain of grief, addiction recovery, and deep life upheaval. By meeting completely online, I offer an exclusive, distraction-free container where you can engage in deep, transformative work from the safety and privacy of your own space.

Rebuilding Identity & Restoring the System

My approach as an Associate Professional Counselor is active, system-focused, and grounded in advanced trauma and recovery frameworks. I look at the big picture: I don't just treat symptoms in isolation; I help you look at how unexpressed grief, generational patterns, and relational dynamics are keeping you stuck.

Together, we will strategically work through:

  • Complex Grief & Loss: Processing the multi-layered shock, emotional storms, and identity shifts that follow the loss of a loved one, a career, or a chosen life path.

  • Sustained Addiction & Substance Recovery: Addressing substance use disorders at the root, treating the deep pain or trauma the dependency is trying to soothe, and building an unshakeable foundation for lasting change.

  • Family & Relational Realignment: Partnering with individuals and families to dismantle destructive communication cycles, heal systemic attachment injuries, and restore clean, healthy boundaries.

 

You do not have to carry the quiet, exhausting burden of pretending you are okay. The armor comes off, and the strategic work of healing begins.
