Things I am not looking for:
-a ton of jump scares (a few are fine)
-gore or exceptionally gross scenes

Things I am looking for:
-atmosphere
-tension
-good acting
-psychological stuff/unease

These can be actual horror movies or just creepy suspense/thrillers. Looking for something to watch with the wife, who has fairly delicate sensibilities, haha.

Some films like this weve really liked would be The Sixth Sense, The Witch, Silence of the Lambs, Shutter Island, Signs, etc.

The VVitch sounds perfect for you. Incredibly atmospheric, maybe moreso than any film ever.

Hits all your other marks too.

Thinking about this one, but Im wondering if its a little intense for the wife based off what Ive heard (just snippets without context, like the little girl getting decapitated)

Nah, it's not bad. I thought of it as more of a "that's fucked up" versus something overtly gory.

I'm sure you've seen it, but Halloween (1978) fits that description exactly. If you haven't, do it now.

Just want to reiterate: Halloween contains almost no blood. It's all atmosphere and ever-building tension. Nothing like the sequels and imitators it spawned.

Mullholland Drive isn't a horror/scary movie, but definitely left me feeling unsettled afterwards...

Identity was a good atmospheric, slow movie.. as was Session 9

The VVitch is boring as shit. Don't watch that.

Instead, watch the superior version, Hereditary. They got it right that time.

Don't watch the movie Feed. It's a gross horror movie where a guy forcefeeds an obese lady and has sex with her on camera for a live audience.

I thought that The Witch was a lot better than Hereditary, tbh.
