Fig Tree Therapy
instilling hope and inspiring changeWho Are We?
Established in 2012, Fig Tree Therapy has a dedicated mission to serve others as a service to God. We are a multicultural group of professionally-trained, Christian counselors, called to impart healing to others and aspired to counsel through the infallible truth found in the Bible. We adhere to a Judeo-Christian perspective and uphold the Bible as the supreme authority on all matters.
In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, many people are seeking alternative forms of therapy to find peace and healing. One such form is faith-based therapy, which combines traditional therapy techniques with Biblical problem solving and practices. This holistic approach to wellness has gained popularity in recent years, and for good reason.
What is Christian Counseling?
While we comprehend that these beliefs aren’t shared by all our clients, it’s noteworthy that our application may vary based on the client’s needs, but our values, deeply rooted in the Word of God, remain unyielding. One of our primary objectives is to assist our clients in identifying deceptive beliefs and assumptions that hinder them from experiencing freedom. Our team profoundly comprehends the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit, acknowledging each element’s substantial influence on the others. We have utmost faith in God’s sovereign power, His capability of imparting healing to an individual, a married couple, a family, and the importance of adhering to Biblical principles.
One of the main benefits of Christian counseling is its focus on spiritual growth. Many people find that traditional therapy only addresses surface-level issues, while faith-based therapy delves deeper into the root causes of problems. By incorporating Christian beliefs and practices, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their purpose, leading to personal growth and a stronger connection with their faith.
What if I am not a Christian?
We as a company are dedicated to providing our clients with support and guidance at any stage of their journey, taking into account their unique spiritual beliefs and practices. Our goal is to meet our clients where they are, understanding and respecting their individual paths and perspectives. We strive to create a welcoming environment that embraces diversity and fosters growth and development for all individuals, regardless of their spiritual backgrounds.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
We’ve experienced firsthand how trauma affects an individual’s body and psyche, and the profound way in which God employs psychotherapy as a means to bring comfort and optimism to numerous individuals. Our training primarily revolves around the psychotherapy known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a comprehensive paradigm that offers a unique way to conceptualize various forms of psychological or emotional distress that may be considered pathological. This approach posits that many of the symptoms and challenges individuals face in the present day can be traced back to past experiences that were stored in a maladaptive manner within the individual’s memory and cognitive processes. By identifying and addressing these past experiences, EMDR therapy seeks to alleviate current symptoms and promote healing and personal growth.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, is an organized, skill-oriented method first established by Dr. Marsha Linehan. This technique involves acquiring abilities to manage emotions, effectively handle distress, and foster competent interpersonal skills. Mindfulness, which harnesses the potency of acknowledging the current moment with intrigue, underpins all the other skills. A dialectical method facilitates us to endure the strain of contrasting emotions, perspectives, and actions while learning to converse with others while valuing their stance.
A significant number of our therapists have received training in DBT and they integrate it into our personal therapy sessions.
