My name is Harris E. Harris, CEO/Founder of Truth Substance Abuse Services, PLLC, originally from Los Angeles, California where I started my practice. I have been working with Chemically Dependent Individuals for 23 years, working in men and women prisons, Residential facilities, Outpatient; and with the onset of Covid-19, working virtually with clients. My want to pursue this area of concern was by way of exposure of living with my father, a gentle kind-hearted individual one moment, turning violent after ingesting the poison, alcohol. Alcoholism, is a family disease.

All the self help books in the world won't help if you don't know how to apply what you have learned. If you want me to tell you it's going to be ok, I can do that, but I would rather you know how to handle life when it's not ok. I am a solution focused therapist and my goal is to help you find the best quality of life, knowing in the end that most people are searching for love, peace, and happiness.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
