Reviews: Read What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

Con created a warm and welcoming setting, and he helped us through issues that felt insurmountable on our own. We experienced him as understanding and encouraging, while he also invited us to take steps of growth that felt scary to us at the time. We're very grateful for his empathy and guidance, which grow from his knowledge and years of counseling experience.

Con and his team are exceptional clinicians! You are in good hands. In addition to quality ongoing therapy they also are great at offering additional services like the Hold Me Tight Couples Retreats!

Rachel Thomas

★★★★★

I've been seeing Con for nearly 7 years and can't say enough good things about him and the team! I have always felt very comfortable, welcomed, listened to, and supported. If you're looking for a therapist with utmost professionalism, expertise, and who genuinely cares for their clients then you have come to the right place.

Laura Spalding Brown

★★★★★

Seeing Con as a therapist is like having been tossed on the ocean and then finally reaching the shore... I am valued, heard, cared for, safe, and gently nudged towards seeing myself more clearly. His years of experience and deep empathy are so obvious as he guides me along to greater mental health. Don't deny yourself the gift of therapy with Con!

Jennifer Lee

★★★★★

EFT has changed the course of my life in the best possible way - if you are here reading this, it is worth exploring as soon as possible. Through the work, I continue to learn how early experiences have affected the way I show up in the world. Most importantly, I have learned how to set that pain down and no longer carry it into each day. This is the best group by far. Absolutely worth the investment.

Cliff Robinson

★★★★★

Cornelius Sheehan Jr. is absolutely amazing and gave myself and my fiance the tools we needed to save our relationship. We left with a better understanding of each other and also ourselves. I just recommended him to a close friend and would recommend him to anyone!

Antoinette Smith

★★★★★

We have had a really positive experience with the emotionally-focused therapy utilized by Con. He's very intuitive and perceptive to the people he works with, has great suggestions on using different approaches to solving issues, and is very relaxed and relatable. You're affected on a deeper level and leave with the desire to be a better partner to your significant other.

Nicole Q

★★★★★

Cornelius is a good man and excellent therapist. Talking with him helped me realize there are two sides to every situation. Was able to reconcile and get remarried to my wife after spending time in therapy with him! Have never been happier!
