Clinical Director · Certified EFT Therapist & Supervisor

Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW

For more than twenty years I have worked with couples and individuals in Reno, using attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy. I have helped hundreds of couples and families repair ruptures and connect again — and at least as many individual clients work through depression, anxiety and relationship problems.

Although I bring expertise in therapy, I see you as the expert on your own life and goals. I founded Individual & Relationship Counseling Associates so that Reno would have a small, collaborative group doing this work well.

  • Anxiety
