Meet Reno Therapist Hillary Harris, CPC-I
Meet Hillary Harris
Hi, I’m Hillary Harris, a Clinical Professional Counselor Intern and therapist in Reno. For those looking to integrate faith into their therapy, I’m comfortable incorporating Christian principles to support your values and beliefs.
How I Can Help
I work with individuals and couples who are feeling stuck in cycles of loneliness, disconnection, or unresolved emotional pain. My general goal is twofold. First, to create a safe space where you feel understood and supported. Second, to gain greater clarity, self-acceptance and movement toward the things that matter most to you.
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.
What to Expect
At Individual and Relationship Counseling Associates, we focus on providing compassionate, focused, personalized care. I’m part of a dedicated, collaborative team and regularly consult with our Clinical Director, Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW, to ensure I’m offering the best possible support for my clients.

Meet Reno Therapist Helen Going, LCSW
Hi, I’m Helen Going, LCSW, a Therapist in Reno
I’m a relationship counselor in Reno; a licensed clinical social worker with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). After earning my Master of Social Work at UNR and completing my clinical internship locally, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients across various settings in Northern Nevada.
As a lifelong learner, I’m committed to continually enhancing the skills I bring to my counseling practice. My extensive lived experience has given me a profound appreciation for the distress emotional and relationship struggles can cause. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, effective support.
How Emotionally Focused Therapy Can Transform Your Relationships
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful approach that focuses on understanding and reshaping the emotional bonds that drive relationships. Whether in couples therapy or individual sessions, EFT provides the tools to address disconnection and conflict, promoting healthier, more fulfilling connections. By working through emotional patterns and attachment needs, EFT empowers you to create lasting, meaningful change in your relationships.
Why I Do Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy
As a relationship counselor in Reno, there’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a couple discover each other in a completely new light…gaining an understanding of one another’s struggles in a way that feels manageable and empowering. I love helping people connect more joyfully and effectively with themselves and their loved ones.
EFT has become the foundation of my work because it aligns perfectly with my passion and values. While I’ve trained in various treatment modalities, EFT stands out for its gentle, effective approach. It creates a safe space where clients can experience themselves and their relationships in new ways.
EFT isn’t about assigning blame or focusing on superficial “tips and tricks.” Instead, it delves into the root causes of disconnection in relationships. Using the framework of attachment, EFT helps couples identify and reframe destructive patterns. This approach empowers them to create authentic, lasting change that goes far beyond surface-level communication strategies.
Why I Do Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy
In addition to working with couples, I provide EFT-based individual therapy in Reno. While EFT is best known for its success in couples therapy, its principles—emotional awareness, expression, and connection—are equally transformative for individuals facing personal challenges.
I’m drawn to individual therapy because it allows me to explore each person’s unique emotional landscape. Whether you’re grappling with relationship struggles, past traumas, anxiety, or depression, EFT provides a compassionate framework for uncovering the root causes of your difficulties and fostering healing.
In our sessions, we’ll work together to identify and express your emotions in a supportive, judgment-free space. We’ll also explore the attachment patterns and unmet needs that may be contributing to your struggles. By deepening your understanding of yourself, you’ll gain the tools to make empowered choices in your relationships and in life.
Individual EFT therapy is about more than addressing immediate concerns; it’s about helping you build healthier, more fulfilling connections with yourself and others. Whether or not you’re currently in a relationship, this approach can be transformative for personal growth, emotional well-being, and fostering meaningful connections.

Meet Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW- Director and Therapist
Counseling with Reno Therapist Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW
About me as a therapist:
For more than 20 years, I have worked with couples and individuals. I understand how important it is to have a secure, connected, and hopeful relationship. I specialize in attachment-based, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for marriages, couples, families, and individuals in Reno. Presently, I am certified as an Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor. I use primarily EFT in my work with couples, individuals, and families. The primary things I appreciate about EFT are its effectiveness, research-based approach, and strong theoretical foundation.
A few years ago, I started Individual & Relationship Counseling Associates in Reno, NV. A small, collaborative therapy group dedicated to excellence in attachment-focused therapy.
I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of couples and families repair ruptures and connect again. Along the way, helping many people become more self-aware and accepting. I’ve supported them in dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.
Attachment theory’s empathy, curiosity, and non-judgmental stance align with my natural style. Although I bring expertise in therapy, you are the expert on your life and goals. Thus, I commit to approaching our work together with humility and curiosity.
One of my proudest achievements is starting a counseling program for inmates at the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office in 2004. We developed a novel and highly successful program to help reduce recidivism, especially for “failure to comply” violations. The program was funded by inmate purchases. I actively participated in these programs until 2011, when I dedicated myself full-time to private practice.
Another accomplishment that has brought me a lot of joy has been mentoring students and interns, guiding them to find their unique paths as professionals in the field of therapy.
About me as a person:
I always remember being profoundly curious about people and relationships. We are all so complex, with so much happening beneath the surface.
I find this complexity fascinating. I feel lucky that my interest has guided me to a profession I love. Moreover, it motivates me to stay current with changes in the field.
My wife Tammy and I live with our three rescue dogs. We have three adult children. Born in San Francisco, I have lived briefly in a few different places, but Reno has always remained home base.
For years, I’ve had “boots on the ground” involvement with many facets of the mental health care needs of our community. This has provided me a rounded perspective about the particular relationship counseling needs of people in our local community.
