Psychiatry
The Willow Center provides individualized psychiatric services. With a dedicated team of psychiatric practitioners, we provide comprehensive, high-quality care for individuals struggling with mental health challenges.
Immediate appointments available.

Individual Therapy

Marriage/Couples Counseling
At The Willow Center we believe that being one half of a couple can be the most rewarding and one of the most difficult things you will do in your life. There isn’t a job out there that doesn’t require a degree or training program, and yet we enter the most important, longest-lasting relationship of our lives knowing next to nothing about how to be good at it.

EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a powerful therapeutic modality that can help clients process trauma and difficult emotions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is most useful when seeking to process distressing memories or events.

Counseling for Anxiety
At The Willow Center, we understand how overwhelming and challenging it can be to live with anxiety. You are not alone. Anxiety is highly treatable when you work with a qualified therapist.

Counseling for Depression

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a revolutionary and transformative approach to mental health that is changing lives across the country. The Willow Center has more clinicians trained in IFS therapy techniques than any other practice in the area.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, practical approach designed to empower you to regain control of your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. CBT is goal oriented, focusing on self awareness, identifying and changing unhelpful or negative thought patterns that may be holding you back.

Groups
Bridging Local and Virtual Therapy
In-Person and Online Sessions Tailored to Meet Your Needs
At The Willow Center, we recognize the value of both in-person and virtual therapy sessions. While online platforms such as BetterHelp and Talkspace offer affordability and accessibility, there is something special about connecting with a local therapist. Our therapists, relationship specialists and members of our psychiatry division are dedicated to serving the needs of people in our community with the belief that our work matters deeply.
