Jenny Harris

Overview

Jenny’s brother was murdered because of his substance abuse. She wanted to do something to make a difference. She left a career in journalism to become a Drug and Alcohol counselor and Arise interventionist.

​She says, “I Found My Calling."  She channeled the grief of her brother’s death to the study of the compassionate ARISE method of non-confrontational intervention.

She believes families are the key to long-term recovery, her work focuses on enhancing family connections in order to get loved ones into treatment. She has provided family intervention for over 15 years and has worked in different treatment programs in Sonoma and Napa counties. In addition, she worked as Alcohol and Drug Counselor for Sonoma County Driving Under the Influence Program.

When not doing interventions, meeting with families, teaching about addiction or supporting others, Jenny spends time hiking and doing photography.
