Psychotherapy/talk therapy

Psychotherapy offers a supportive, collaborative space to better understand yourself, work through difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. At Willow & Sage, therapy is personalized to your needs, goals, and life experiences—not a one-size-fits-all process.

Our clinicians help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, emotional dysregulation, and other challenges. 

Together, we will identify patterns, build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, connected, and authentic.

Psychotherapy/talk therapy utilizes techniques from evidence-based modalities summarized below. 

Evidence-based modalilites

DBT
Dialetical Behavioral Therapy

DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, and staying grounded in the present moment. It can be especially helpful for emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and recurring interpersonal difficulties.

CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT explores how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. By identifying unhelpful patterns and developing practical coping strategies, CBT can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and support lasting behavioral change.

ACT
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

​ACT helps you develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action based on your values. It supports greater psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and engagement in the life you want to create.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns may influence your current emotions and behavior. Developing insight into these patterns can support healing, stronger relationships, and more intentional choices.

CPT
Cognitive Processing Therapy

CPT is a structured, evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD. It helps you identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to the traumatic experience, reduce distress, and develop a more balanced understanding of yourself, others, and the world.

TF-CBT
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment designed to help children and adolescents recover from trauma, with support from a parent or caregiver. It combines coping skills, gradual trauma processing, and family involvement to reduce distress, strengthen emotional regulation, and restore a sense of safety.

Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps reduce fear and avoidance by gradually and safely facing distressing thoughts, sensations, situations, or memories. With support and at a manageable pace, clients build confidence, develop new coping skills, and learn that anxiety can decrease without relying on avoidance.

MBCT
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy to help clients become more aware of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without becoming overwhelmed by them. It can reduce stress, interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns, and help prevent recurring anxiety and depression.
