Kristina Faulkner

Director of Business Development

Kristina Faulkner joins the Acadia Healthcare team as Director of Business Development for Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center. Kristina brings an extensive background of more than 30 years’ experience in the healthcare field with 13 years’ experience in the specialty of behavioral health.

Kristina was born on Long Island, NY but spent most of her life growing up in sunny Florida until she and her husband realized their dream of moving to the beautiful mountains of North Georgia in 2021.

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communication with honors from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. During her studies, Kristina held administrative positions in various medical specialty practices until graduation in 2005. She began her business development career in hospice but soon discovered her love for the field of behavioral health.

In her free time, Kristina can be found enjoying nature, wildlife, or a relaxing spa day. (Truth be told, she can also be found binge-watching a good crime documentary.)

Kristina is excited to join a team of dedicated professionals at Acadia Healthcare where she looks forward to combining her love for business development with her passion for helping people gain access to quality and life-changing treatment.
