Therapists in Williamson, NY

Over one out of five adults struggle with mental health symptoms and at least half of them do not receive support due to not having access to this type of help or believing they will never feel better.

Hello, my name is Connolly Harrigan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and adults. I have a background in working with individuals who struggle with behavioral challenges and social/emotional barriers. I am also able to provide services for those who struggle with anxiety and depression symptoms. I also have a strong background working with individuals who struggle with substance abuse and addiction.

You've come here and you're reading this because you need to make a change.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you better. Let's walk your path together and create the life you want.

For over 33 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups to help them manage stress, heal emotional wounds, and bring into awareness past learning that may block happiness today. Individuals want direct but supportive listening and honest feedback. My desire is to gently motivate, educate, and inspire Individuals to establish healthy emotional boundaries. Individuals will feel motivated, educated, and inspired to establish healthy emotional boundaries so that they can positively and productively increase their self-confidence and self-esteem.

My adult clients can be located anywhere in New York State. I am becoming licensed in North and South Carolina. My evidence based practices are client centered. I meet you, where you are, by phone. I consider it sacred when my clients feel safe to speak to me about anything they have experienced. Honesty, trust and openness is all that is needed to begin the healing process. I see results quickly with these attributes. This is my calling.

We may experience things in our lives that feel like they change who we are and our view of the world. As a result, we may feel loneliness, distrust, anger, sadness, numbness, shame, and guilt. We may not allow ourselves to experience the wide range of human emotions and limit our connection with others as a way to protect ourselves. I believe that people are resilient, able to heal from trauma, and can reconnect with their authentic, genuine selves.

I have experience working with adults, children, couples, families and groups and treating a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, ADHD, PTSD, grief, eating disorders, OCD, self injury, mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse. I often use mindfulness techniques, creative arts therapy, DBT and CBT to help clients find balance and joy.

I am deeply passionate about the power and benefit of therapy, and have seen it work countless times to bring comfort, stability, peace, and growth to so many, including myself. Through forming a trusting and collaborative relationship with a counselor, therapy can provide you with insight into how past events have shaped your present, with tools that help relieve you from negative patterns or emotions, and with confidence to move forward and live an empowered, healthy life.

My ideal client starts with you. Understanding your awareness of irrational feeling/thoughts begin when you come see me. Together, we can navigate, create and implement your journey that is feasible to your needs. Needing guidance and my journey with you allows me to help create a healthier you. Visualizing your past and present journey to your future goals by implementing realistic goals created by you. Realizing your growth while gaining self-esteem, self-efficacy and empowerment is rewarding in itself. To see your own growth allows me to provide the tools and skills needed with self-gratification of creating your world of happy.

"Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming things you once thought you couldn't." (Rikki Rogers) I will be the therapist who works for you on any problem you bring to the session. I describe it this way because we work on what is important to you - your goals, hopes and dreams. The starting point is with you. Sometimes people can't even get in touch with that, but trust me, I can help you find those goals, hopes and dreams. I have been at points in my own life where I experienced hopelessness, but I know there is a way out.

I believe there are many components that make you who you are. Often we place aspects of ourselves in individual compartments, rejecting the parts we don’t like, or burying them deep in hopes to hide them forever. I want to help you learn to embrace all the parts of yourself. In other words, I want to help you feel comfortable in your own skin!

Let's face it, reaching out to someone for help can be scary! You probably have so many questions: Do my problems even qualify for therapy? How do I know this is the right choice for me? You are not alone and you have already done the hardest part which is considering a possible need for help! Let me help you navigate your concerns as we build a trusting, supportive relationship. Whether you are looking to decrease debilitating symptoms contributing to increased mental health concerns like anxiety or depression, or struggling with addiction, I am happy to help in any way I can, in a non judgemental space for your health and healing.

Accepting new clients! Finding the right therapist is a challenging task, you want to find someone who is going to challenge and support you. If you are looking for someone who is calm, relaxed, and non-judgemental, then I would be an ideal person for you. I currently am accepting people who are ages 16-120 and have a wide range of skills working with a variety of difficulties.

I'll have a biweekly opening at 12pm on Tuesdays starting at the end of May. I offer an open, supportive, and individualized approach, meeting each person where they are. Fostering a therapeutic relationship involves building trust as we navigate through distressing emotions, situations, and overcoming barriers. Sessions may range from learning and practicing coping skills to processing past traumas. My style is down-to-earth with open and honest communication, along with a bit of humor.
