Christopher W Harrison, LPC, MA, CAADC

Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:Growing up 1 of 5 children, I was always told I was a good listener. I enjoyed learning about others' stories and experiences. Originally, I went to college as a Business Major, but as a Sophomore my Psychology 101 class transformed my perspective and my focus to mental health. I quickly changed my major to Psychology and began my path in the helping profession. What I want my patients to know about me:I started my career helping to develop a private Intensive Outpatient Program for adolescents and young adults with mental health, behavioral, and substance issues in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. After my wife and I moved to Lancaster County, I decided I wanted to find a job helping those in the community in which I live. I enjoy living, working, and participating in Lancaster County.What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I spend my free time with my wife and son. I grew up at the shore, so I love to get to the beach when we can. We like to spend …time with nieces and nephews. When I have alone time, I watch documentaries, listen to music, and watch the Sixers.
