“…I feel the best I’ve felt in along time.” – Riley

Meet Our Team

When Licensed Practical Nurse Christina Harris heard about Citizen Advocates’ 24/7 Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center opening on State Street, she knew right away she wanted to be part of it.

“[In Watertown,] we always had the issue—where do patients go when they’re struggling after hours?” Christina said. That gap in care inspired her to join a team committed to making sure no one has to face a mental health or addiction crisis alone, no matter the time of day.

With deep roots in the community and a clear understanding of its needs, Christina saw 24/7 mental health and addiction care as a game-changer for Watertown. “Knowing the population that we serve I knew what a great thing this was going to be for the community,” she said. Now, as a dedicated member of the team, she helps ensure that individuals and families can access compassionate, convenient care—24/7.
