What's a 'Figs'? Isn't 'Teale' a color?
Empathi founders. Married parents. Wounded healers.
Hi there! We’re Figs and Teale, the architects of the Empathi Method and leaders of a talented, compassionate, and hard-working team of therapists.
Our story, like all the best ones, starts with the feeling that something is missing…
People are complicated. Therapy shouldn't be.
Humans—all chemicals and neurons and wounding wrapped up in a beautiful, electric mess—can be pretty confusing, even for therapists.
But there is one thing we know to be true: Human beings need each other.
This is the underlying force that brought us together as partners, craving flavors of love previously unmet—and as therapists, seeking reliable, deeply effective methods.
