The Willow Collective

About Us

The roots of our care: This is a space where every part of you belongs — your joy, your grief, your complexity, and your hope.

At The Willow Collective, we believe healing grows best in spaces where all of who you are is welcomed. We are a team of mental health therapists who hold space for individuals, couples, polycules, and families to show up just as they are — without judgment, without masks, and without pressure to fit into someone else’s idea of who they should be.

About Katherine Firestone Registered Marriage and Family Therapist:

I love to help couples and families develop safe, secure, loving relationships.

In 2023, I decided to change careers and pursue a more fulfilling career as a couples counselor. As the daughter of a combat veteran, I chose to focus my internship on veterans. I interned at the Orlando VA on the FIRST team working with veterans and their partners on a range of concerns involving (but not limited to): relationships, complex trauma, depression, anxiety and sex. Each of these can affect our intimate relationships.

I work with couples to explore the impact that their individual concerns have on their relationship and vice versa: the effect that their relationship dynamics have on their personal mental health. Once we can see clearly what is happening, we can make changes to improve both. Getting a full understanding from each partner’s perspective leads to increased empathy between partners. And this empathy leads to greater relationship satisfaction. Who else has a greater impact on your happiness than your spouse?
