Hi, I’m Amber Harris, your Mental Health Counselor serving the Jackson ATC, Vicksburg, Rankin and Raymond campuses. I’m a National Board-Certified Counselor and hold a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (P-LPC) from Mississippi State Board of Examiners for Licensed Professional Counselors. I earned both my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jackson State University (Thee I Love), and I bring experience from working in crisis stabilization with youth facing mental health challenges. I’m passionate about helping others navigate emotional and mental distress, and in my free time, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, riding 4-wheelers, watching crime shows, and cruising to 90s R&B or Drake.
