Cathy Cerra-Harvieux [IMAGE]

Cathy brings over 40 years of experience in providing Substance Abuse Services. Her experience is unparalleled nationally. She is a pioneer in the Substance Use Profession, having started at the age of 19 as an overnight treatment tech. She has worked directly with many cultures and communities, including the design and development of gender, cultural, and client-centered specific programs. She is a past Vice President of MARRCH, past Vice President and President of MCB, as well as a past MN DHS assessor and program license trainer. Her extensive experience brought her to NBC TV in 2005 as an expert in Adolescent female addiction. In 2017, after many years in the profession, she semi-retired to Arizona, where she obtained her AZ Substance Use Counseling License, sitting by the pool and providing Substance Use Assessments. After a year, she realized retirement was not for her and she was onto one last project, designing and developing "Care Crossings". An agency that brings together 40 years of knowledge and expertise. "Everything I have come to know that works, under one roof." Care Crossings staff all believe and live our mission of client-engaged and client-centered care. Cathy continues to design programs in partnership with others that enhance Care Crossings' mission. "Every person is an individual with an individual story, an individual recovery journey. Care to help them own and lead their way?"
