Looking for a faith-based counselor in Ocala? Shadetree serves Ocala and the surrounding area in person and online.
At Shadetree Christian Counseling, Ocala clients get the same combination of clinical excellence and Christ-centered care that has helped couples and individuals across Central Florida. We meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk with you at your pace.
Whether you are in crisis, drifting, or simply wanting to grow, we make starting easy. Same-week openings are often possible, and we will match you with a counselor who fits your needs and your schedule.

Every story is different, but the desire to feel well and whole is universal. If any of these resonate, you are not alone, and help is closer than you think.
You want a counselor who takes faith seriously, not as a side note but as part of how healing and growth happen.
You want evidence-based care, not platitudes. Our counselors are trained and continually developing their craft.
You do not want to wait weeks for a first session. We prioritize timely starts whenever possible.
Meet in our Ocala offices if that fits, or from anywhere in Florida via secure video. Both are equally effective.
Counseling is confidential by design. Our offices and online sessions are quiet, unhurried, and private.
No cookie-cutter approach. Your counselor builds a plan that fits your story, your goals, and your pace.
Faith, clinical skill, and temperament science together. We care for mind, heart, and spirit, not one slice of you.
Whether you need a short season of support or a longer journey, we are here for you in Ocala.
Whatever brought you here, we meet you where you are, without judgment.
Take the First StepWe bring together three powerful lenses to help you experience lasting transformation, not just symptom management.
God designed you for connection, and His grace is sufficient. Scripture informs how we approach conflict, forgiveness, and vulnerability, giving your relationships a foundation that lasts.
Trained in Gottman principles and evidence-based methods, we help you identify unhealthy patterns, build practical communication skills, and develop new ways of relating.
Understanding your God-given temperament, and the temperaments of those you love, changes everything. Empathy replaces frustration when you see why you each respond the way you do.
Starting counseling can feel vulnerable. Here's what the process looks like at Shadetree, so you can walk in with confidence.
Reach out through our contact form or call. We'll listen and match you with a counselor who fits your needs.
A safe space to share your story: your history, your relationships, and what you hope would be different.
Your counselor creates a tailored plan addressing your specific challenges with proven strategies.
Week by week, build the tools to communicate well, navigate conflict, and keep growing in the relationships that matter most.
Have a question we haven't answered? We'd love to hear from you.

Yes. We offer secure video sessions for clients anywhere in Florida, including Ocala. Online counseling is just as effective as in-person sessions and gives you flexibility without sacrificing quality.
We integrate faith, clinical training, and temperament science in a way few practices do. We don't just manage symptoms. We help you understand the deeper patterns at work. And because we're Christ-centered, we believe real, lasting transformation is always possible.
