Our Mission
Our mission at Fruitful Seeds is much like the planting and harvesting process. The negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of many individuals are rooted and deep-seed in childhood trauma, where home is our first school. We are equipped to bring others hope, walk alongside the brokenhearted, and free those caught in mental captivity while supporting others who feel alone and/or stuck in the dark.
Called to sometimes serve as a bridge to resources and other times a lighthouse of hope and clairty, we are eager to encourage and empower our clients! Our goal is to assist in helping others to gain insight, become more self-aware, and take personal accountability. By doing this, clients become receptive to tools, knowledge, and resources they need to achieve the following: decrease symptoms reported, improve relationships with themselves and others, and have an enriched quality of life. Finally, through consistent application of skills learned, clients reap what they sow. By the end of treatment, clients can enjoy their harvest of increased love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control.
With plenty of sun and water, all can grow through what they go through. Change is evident in both labor and fruit. From personal and professional experiences, we know the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. Therapy takes time, commitment, and work. We hope to continue to remain fruitful and multiply the number of people changed, healed, and set free.
Welcome to the Healing House. We are thrilled to join you in your messy but necessary journey. Let’s bear fruit today!
