Meet Hillary Harris
Hi, I’m Hillary Harris, a Clinical Professional Counselor Intern, therapist in Reno. Whether you’re experiencing loneliness, misunderstanding, disconnection or unhealed wounds, I can help. I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a gold-standard for relationship counseling. I also do attachment-based EFT for individuals (EFIT). Additionally, for those interested, I am also comfortable incorporating Christian faith-based principles to support the client’s personal values and belief.
Research consistently shows that a strong therapeutic relationship, also called the therapeutic alliance, is vital for successful treatment. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative environment where we can build emotional and relationship resilience. Using my specialized training, I help clients identify and disrupt negative cycles to foster lasting change. I’m passionate about working with couples, first responders, military personnel, those experiencing relationship loss, and individuals with PTSD. Additionally, I am part of a highly-collaborative team and do regular case consultation with our Clinical Director, Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW.
My military experience gives me insight into the unique challenges of high-stress jobs with chronic exposure to intense content.
