Eilis O'Herlihy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and MSW based in Montpelier, VT, dedicated to building safe, empowering therapeutic relationships.

She integrates a variety of evidence-based modalities including brainspotting, CBT, motivational interviewing, ERP, and mindfulness to address specific needs. Eilis is explicitly LGBTQIA+ affirmed, offering specialized support for transgender, non-binary, and queer individuals, as well as those dealing with sexual abuse, infertility, or domestic violence. Her expertise extends to working with diverse populations, including aviation professionals and those with intersex or immuno-disorders.

Available for both in-person and online sessions, Eilis accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and various private insurance plans, with individual sessions costing $150. She encourages prospective clients to ask questions and develop trust in ways that feel right to them, making her a supportive resource for those seeking personalized care for themselves or their families.
