Hi, I’m Kerstin, founder of Fig Tree Therapy, a licensed therapy practice in North Carolina. After several years serving as a grief counselor at a local hospice agency, I felt called to build my own practice. The lessons I learned as a grief guide continue to shape how I support clients through life’s many emotional and mental health challenges. I believe we all need a space where our pain is not something to be “fixed,” but rather honored and understood—where healing begins with being truly heard and supported as we each chart our own course toward a brighter future.

I offer EMDR, Equine Assisted EMDR, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, CBT, and DBT skills training.
I work with deeply feeling and highly sensitive teens and adults looking to improve their confidence and coping. Improving confidence in who we are and in our daily functioning has a positive impact on all aspects of our daily life. This includes our mood, relationships, functioning, and self-talk. My goal is to provide a safe and accepting space for my clients to rediscover who they are and why they function the way that they do, gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, as well as learn new coping strategies to help themselves through their deep and highly sensitive feelings.

I integrate DBT, mindfulness, IFS/parts work, and trauma-informed therapy to support emotion regulation, boundaries, and more secure connection with yourself and others.
I work with teens and adults across North Carolina through telehealth. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, healthcare/education workers, and people who are tired of “powering through.” I also support clients navigating identity shifts, relationship changes, and recovery from difficult past experiences.

I use a relational, attachment-based approach informed by EMDR, DBT, and ACT.
Many of my clients are women who have spent years being the responsible one—managing careers, relationships, caregiving, parenting, or simply carrying more than anyone realizes. From the outside, they often look capable and successful. Inside, they feel exhausted, disconnected, emotionally shut down, anxious, or unsure of who they are anymore.
I work with couples struggling with conflict, withdrawal, or loneliness who want to rebuild emotional connection, as well as parents of LGBTQ+ teens and young adults who want to maintain strong, connected relationships with their child.

Together, we explore feelings with kindness and curiosity, building resilience and self-compassion.

In addition to being trained in the modalities noted below, I've completed specialty training in Motivational Interviewing, DBT-Informed Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Neurodivergent Care.
You are not without imprints and influence. And yet, here you are, at the edge of (or moving deeper into) adulthood, trying to establish your own identity, pursue your individual goals, and turn toward your personal values. All the while, by the way, maintaining prior connectedness and finding new spaces of belonging. This is truly a time of transition and trial. It’s little wonder you can’t turn off your mind to sleep, and wake with a sense of dread - and that you find discerning what is from what is not within your control comes about as easy as knowing when to surrender perfection to “good enough.” I’m ready to help.

EMDR, IFS, DBT are well-known therapy modalities, but research shows that the type of therapy matters much less than your relationship and connection with your therapist.
You already have the answers you need. All you need is someone to listen as you figure out what you already know or encourage you to make the changes you need. You may need permission to take a step, set a boundary, or leave an unhealthy relationship. Counseling allows you to let down walls, process pain, and gain insight from a trusted, neutral person without fear of judgment. I work with adults and couples experiencing relational pain, anxiety, depression, and various life transitions - including premarital. You can always reach out, and I can help determine if we're a good fit. If not, I'll help you find someone who is.

My hope for my work as a counselor is to ensure others know they are not alone in any present or past suffering they have experienced. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and women in the areas of anxiety, depression, family transitions, grief, behavioral issues, and attachment issues. I value a healthy, trusting therapeutic relationship and work hard to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where my clients feel safe as they process their emotions and life stories.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
