Meet Hillary Harris, Therapist in Reno
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.

At Individual and Relationship Counseling Associates, we focus on providing compassionate, focused, personalized care.

Meet Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW- Director
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 individuals, marriages, couples, and families in Reno. I am certified as an Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor. I use primarily EFT in my work with couples, individuals, and families. The things I appreciate most about EFT are its effectiveness, research-based approach, and strong theoretical foundation. But EFT is also a client-centered model. A client-centered model of therapy means that the therapist prioritizes the client’s perspective, emotions, and autonomy in the therapeutic process.
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 at least as many individual clients become more self-aware and accepting. I’ve supported these clients in successfully 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, I see you as the expert on your life and goals. Thus, I commit to approaching our work together with humility and curiosity.
One of my proudest professional 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. Additionally rewarding is the work I do helping train and supervise therapists wanting to learn EFT in Reno.
In addition to my work with individuals and couples in therapy, I also co-facilitate Hold Me Tight® couples retreats here in Reno. These retreats offer couples a chance to step away from daily life and focus fully on their relationship. Guided by the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, the retreats help partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck, learn new ways to communicate, and rediscover a sense of safety and closeness together. Over the years, it’s been incredibly rewarding to witness how these weekends can transform a couple’s connection and inspire hope for lasting change.
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.
