At Willow Counseling Services, we understand the profound impact that fertility, perinatal, and women’s health challenges can have on the fabric of everyday lives. We acknowledge that the journey through these experiences is anything but simple, and the well-meaning yet inadequate advice to ‘just relax’ fails to address the intricate emotional and psychological complexities that often arise. That’s why we stand ready to offer the support you truly deserve – guidance from our adept mental health clinicians who specialize in addressing mental health wellness during these trying times.

Located conveniently in Dover, Delaware, with an upcoming Middletown, Delaware office opening in fall 2024, Willow Counseling Services tailors its offerings to meet your unique needs. We provide a range of options, including both in-person and telehealth individual therapy sessions. Whether you seek face-to-face interactions or the flexibility of remote counseling from the comfort of your chosen environment, we’re here to accommodate your preferences. Our locations are thoughtfully designed for in-person sessions to move away from the sterile doctor’s office environment, embracing a modern and welcoming aesthetic.

Our commitment to supporting you extends to group psychotherapy, a space where you can connect with others on similar journeys. In these empathetic surroundings, you’ll find a sense of community that alleviates isolation and offers shared insights that can illuminate your path forward.

Our clinicians are equipped with a diverse toolkit of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. From Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and client-centered methods, our personalized treatments empower you on your journey toward healing and well-being.

• Infertility and assisted reproduction (IVF, IUI, etc.)
