Kristie Harris

Kristie Harris serves as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Qualified Mental Health Professional in Greensboro, NC. With more than 13 years as a certified alcohol and drug counselor and over 6 years as a qualified mental health professional, she works at a methadone clinic where her day begins at 5 o'clock in the morning providing integrated counseling that addresses the whole person through cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and other modalities. Her goal is to help clients manage their sobriety or reduce harm from substance use. Harris is a published author who is pursuing a master's degree in psychology at High Point University, having previously earned a degree in human relations there after transitioning from a career as a correctional officer. She also engages in non-profit consulting focused on connecting people to resources such as food pantries and organizations that assist with bills. Inspired by her uncle's experience with substance use disorder, Harris finds satisfaction in seeing patients complete treatment and maintain long-term recovery, including one client who achieved 24 months of sobriety.
