Hillary Harris: Find Your Path to Clarity, Balance, and Connection
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to feel stuck in a cycle of anxiety or disconnection—longing for a deeper sense of peace but unsure how to get there. I’m Hillary Harris, a relationship therapist in Reno dedicated to helping you navigate those difficult moments. My first priority is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and understood, providing the foundation you need to move toward the life and relationships that matter most to you.
Healing begins when we understand the patterns that keep us stuck. My work is grounded in attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven approach for individuals and couples seeking to move past surface-level conflict and toward a secure, lasting connection. Whether you are navigating a painful rift with a partner or looking to find internal safety within yourself, I am here to guide you through the small, meaningful shifts that lead to deep trust and genuine closeness.
How I Can Help
My work is grounded in attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven approach for healing and strengthening relationships. Whether you’re navigating painful disconnection with a partner or struggling to make sense of your own emotions, I’ll help you identify the patterns that keep you stuck and guide you toward new ways of connecting that feel more supportive and secure. The change often begins with small, meaningful shifts—moments of reaching and responding differently—that open the door to deeper trust and lasting closeness.
My Approach
Specialty Areas:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): A proven approach to strengthening relationships and resolving conflict.
- Attachment-Based EFT for Individuals (EFIT): Focused on helping you heal and grow as an individual.
- Brainspotting: A powerful, focused treatment method designed to help process trauma and access deep emotional healing.
A strong connection between therapist and client is essential for therapy to work. Learn more about the importance of the therapy working alliance here. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck and find ways to create lasting change.
Who I Work With
I’m especially passionate about working with:
- Couples wanting to rebuild connection and trust. Read more about couples therapy here.
- First responders and military personnel navigating high-stress environments.
- Individuals coping with relationship loss or the effects of trauma. Read more about individual therapy here.
I have extensive, past experience as a military spouse with children. This experience has given me insight into the unique challenges faced by people in high-stakes, high-stress roles, and I bring that understanding into my work. Emotionally Focused Therapy is a well-researched model for helping military couples and families. I’ll be happy to talk with you about your specific circumstances and how I can help.
