Meet Megan Schalembier, LCSW, whose work focuses on helping children and adults with Autism. She’s discovering fresh insights while pursuing her PhD at Regent University. Megan also mentors our MSW counselors, shaping future professionals. Let's learn from her dedication and experience in fostering growth and understanding in others.

Suffering is part of life, whether we welcome that truth or resist it.

The question is not whether life will ask something of us. It will. The question is how we will respond when it does.

Will we collapse under the weight? Avoid it? Numb it? Or learn, with God’s help, how to bear what is ours to carry with courage, humility, and endurance?

Growth often begins when we stop demanding an easy life and start learning how to suffer well.

Insight is important, but insight alone does not always create change.

Healing often involves understanding patterns, facing truth, receiving support, and practicing something new over time.

At Fig Tree Therapy, we want counseling to move beyond awareness into meaningful transformation.

Identity is something so many people struggle with, and it likely underlies many mental health concerns.

Who are you?

You are a child of God. This world is not your eternal home. Your life has purpose, and it is not ultimately about you.

When identity is built only on feelings, performance, or the approval of others, it becomes fragile. But when identity is rooted in truth, it becomes steadier.

Anxiety feels powerful, but it does not control the future.

So much of healing is learning to come back to what is true in the present moment instead of being ruled by fear about what might happen next.

Truth steadies us.
Presence grounds us.
And peace is not always found in control, but in surrender.

Trauma affects more than emotions.

It can shape the body, relationships, beliefs, reactions, and sense of safety.

That is one reason healing often takes more than insight alone. It requires care that is thoughtful, integrated, and attentive to the whole person.

At Fig Tree Therapy, we care for mind, body, relationships, and spirit.

✨ Meet Virginia ✨

Virginia is a dedicated child therapist who works with children ages 3 and up, creating a safe and supportive space for growth, expression, and healing.

We believe that parents play a vital role in a child’s progress. That’s why Virginia intentionally incorporates parents into the therapeutic process—honoring them as the primary authority in their child’s life and partnering with them every step of the way.

Together, we build stronger connections, healthier communication, and lasting change. 💛

Trauma does not only affect emotions.

It can affect the body, relationships, beliefs, reactions, and sense of safety.

That is one reason healing often takes more than insight alone. It requires care that is thoughtful, integrated, and attuned to the whole person.

Discover how not all therapy is the same. A new article on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) explores how trauma disrupts the nervous system and why standard talk therapy might not suffice for everyone.

At Fig Tree Therapy, we integrate EMDR into our Christian counseling to unravel trauma intricately interwoven in biology, psychology, social systems, and spirituality. Our holistic approach aims at healing, aligning clinical expertise with Biblical guidance.

Read more about EMDR therapy's effectiveness in treating trauma in the article titled, "Does EMDR Really Work?" from Naples Daily News.
