Couples Therapy
Couples therapy at Willow Tree Therapy is for partners who feel caught in patterns they can’t seem to interrupt repeated conflict, emotional distance, or conversations that leave both people feeling unseen. Often, couples arrive knowing what keeps happening but not why or how even well-intended conversations escalate, stall, or end in withdrawal. This work offers a structured space to slow those moments down and understand what is unfolding beneath them.
Couples therapy may be a good fit if you are:
Having the same disagreements repeatedly, even when you try to handle them differently
Feeling disconnected, resentful, or emotionally distant
Struggling with conflict around trust, responsibility, or boundaries
Stuck in a dynamic where one partner pushes for closeness and the other pulls away
Navigating stressors or transitions that are straining the relationship
Wanting to understand why certain moments derail so quickly
You do not need to be on the brink of separation to begin couples therapy.
Therapy for queer couples is also offered, with attention to attachment dynamics and relational context.
