Kristen Harris, M.S., APC, NCC

Associate Professional Counselor

(she/her/hers)

Hi! I’m Kristen, a queer 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 and seeking recovery, already in recovery, or a loved one, I am here to support you! I also support adults experiencing complicated grief & complex trauma, as well as teens (12-17 y.o.) experiencing anxiety, depression, and navigating developmental transitions. 

​

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, Creative Expression Therapy, Bibliotherapy, and Somatic interventions.). 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 Janika Perry, LPC, CPCS.

​

Kristen will begin accepting clients March 1, 2026, *telehealth only.

Friday and Saturday 10am - 2pm.
