Teresa strives to create an environment that the clients feel safe in and can be successful in during the early stages of their recovery. She is always searching for ways to improve the clients experience at Hickory by listening to client and staff concerns, searching for resources to assist clients after discharge, and bringing in volunteer services that provide extra support for the clients while at Hickory.  In her free time, she likes to spend time with her three daughters, go for walks with her dogs, and catch up on her favorite shows. Teresa hopes to continue to grow in her career through additional trainings and certifications, and to share with others her passion for the clients we serve.

Crystal S. Reid, BSN RN, Director of Nursing

I am flexible, caring, loving, and dedicated to serving others. I spent 7 years as a medical assistant and decided to pursue nursing to further my healthcare career. I am experienced in Trauma, Ortho, and Mental Health. Mental Health has become my passion and as a leader in substance abuse, I am learning how to master both. My skills include interpersonal communication, the ability to de-escalate challenging situations, time management, problem-solving, teamwork, and providing an excellent customer service experience. I am passionate about the care/service I provide to clients and patients and my faith keeps me steadfast.

I obtained my nursing from Western Governor’s University and will soon have my master’s in leadership and business administration in nursing. I am married with 4 children and my hobbies outside of serving others include shopping online, watching my children play sports, spending time with my husband, and reading. As the DON of Hickory Treatment Center, I know the knowledge and skill I bring to HTC, as stated above and I’m excited to continue my growth with HTC, becoming a part of its history and greatness.
