Clinical Supervisor- Dumfries
Karon Harris, BS, CSAC, QMHP-A, and CSAC Supervisor, serves as Clinical Supervisor at Mainspring Recovery. She brings nineteen years of experience in behavioral health, mental health stabilization, and substance use disorder treatment. Karon is committed to supporting individuals as they engage in internally inspired change, healing, and reconciliation, empowering them to move toward the life they deserve to live.
With a strong background in behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment, Karon specializes in mental health treatment, crisis de-escalation, client advocacy, and improving individual outcomes through the application of CBT and DBT techniques. Her approach is rooted in human-centered care, evidence-based best practices, and a deep understanding of the impact addiction has on individuals, families, and communities. Shaped by the loss of her sister, Karon recognizes that addiction is not solely an individual concern, but a human experience that requires compassion, accountability, and comprehensive support.
At Mainspring, Karon leads the clinical department with a commitment to service, professional growth, and excellence in fulfilling the responsibilities of her role. She is dedicated to helping team members recognize not only what they value about their work, but also what they are passionate about, while supporting them in transforming their strengths and skills into meaningful action. Through her leadership, Karon works to ensure that the organization continues to uphold its mission of being the starting point of lasting change — a place where healing begins, lives are restored, and hope is renewed.
Karon’s leadership is grounded in the belief that all individuals have the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change, and that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion throughout their journey. She recognizes that change is a process that takes time, patience, accountability, care, and kindness — one that requires rewiring how individuals understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Guided by her belief in a higher power, collaboration with other professionals, and a commitment to transparency regarding the challenges faced by those living with substance use disorders, Karon embraces a healing-centered approach to care. She is dedicated to creating an environment where both staff and clients feel supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
