Kirsten Viola Harrison

Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison has spent her professional career as a psychologist studying and treating trauma disorders and their sequelae. She had the opportunity to conduct research on PTSD at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, as well as study at Georgetown University, Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Barry University, and Pacifica Graduate Institute.

Kirsten's continuing education has included summers at Harvard Medical School and conferences and training in Europe, supplementing her master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences. By far the most instrumental and informative in shaping her philosophy, however, has been her direct work with trauma survivors, including near-death experiencers and those struggling with complex DID and PTSD. The creativity, passion, and will to survive the unthinkable that her clients have endured and struggled through on their healing journeys have given her life’s work meaning and purpose beyond any professional training program.

It is in honor of these courageous souls that Kirsten proudly and steadfastly continues to offer her knowledge, experience, and clinical skills, in the hope that the greater good can be best served.
