​

All employees are expected to be aligned with and adhere to our core values when engaging with colleagues, leadership and clients. Our core values include:

​

Compassion

We approach every client and colleague with empathy, kindness, and understanding. We recognize that healing requires a safe, supportive environment where people feel truly seen and heard.

 

Expertise

Our clinicians bring advanced experiential training, ongoing professional development, and evidence-based interventions to the treatment experience. We deliver high-caliber clinical execution grounded in research, reflective practice, and real-world outcomes.

 

Intentionality

Every clinical intervention with every client and colleague is strategic and thoughtful, keeping the individual’s goals and treatment plan in the forefront. We design care approaches that are rooted in evidence based practices and uniquely tailored to the individual’s needs.

 

Transparency

We prioritize clear, open communication to ensure clients feel fully aligned with the therapeutic process. By elevating visibility into our methods and decisions, we create a trust-forward environment where clients can confidently engage in their healing roadmap.

 

Trauma-Focused Care

Our framework approaches the complexities of trauma with a bottom up, experiential approach. We apply targeted modalities that promote safety, clarity, and long-term resilience. Treating trauma and trauma-related symptoms is our primary goal.

​

Our team is a collective of compassionate, skilled clinicians who value authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration. We work with a large spectrum of trauma related disorders, including dissociation, C-PTSD, attachment wounding, and childhood abuse/neglect. We utilize experiential modalities such as EMDR, IFS-Informed EMDR, and attachment repair models. The Willow Space is a hybrid payment practice, taking a mixture of insurances and private pay.

 

We offer a supportive clinical environment where therapists can grow their expertise while maintaining curiosity for learning and compassion for clients. Whether you’re deepening your trauma treatment skills or expanding into new modalities, you’ll find a grounded, growth-oriented space here.
