Shadetree Christian Counseling is a Central Florida practice helping couples, families, individuals, and teens move toward healing, growth, and hope.
Shadetree was built on a simple conviction: counseling should honor the whole person, mind, heart, and spirit. Too often, faith and clinical training are treated as either-or. We believe they belong together, and our entire practice is designed around that belief.
Every Shadetree counselor is trained in evidence-based methods, and committed to the highest standards of clinical care. Every one of us also takes Christian faith seriously as a source of hope, wisdom, and lasting change. You should never have to choose between expertise and spiritual integrity.
Our clients come from every background. Some are working through a crisis. Others are quietly wanting to grow. All of them meet a team that believes real transformation is possible, and walks with them toward it at their pace.
These six values shape how our counselors show up, how we build plans, and how we walk with every client from day one.
Mind, body, heart, and spirit are not separate compartments. Every session cares for all of them together.
Christian faith is a deep source of hope and healing. We offer it when clients want it, never impose it.
Good intentions are not enough. Every counselor is committed to ongoing, evidence-based training.
No cookie-cutter care. Your plan fits your story, your temperament, and your goals.
We serve clients of every background and belief with the same excellent care. Doubt and questioning are safe here.
We believe real, lasting transformation is possible. That hope anchors everything we do.
Faith, clinical skill, and temperament science woven together. None of these alone is enough. Together, they care for the whole human being.
God's design for your life is good, and His grace is sufficient. Scripture informs how we approach every session, giving your care a foundation that lasts.
Trained in Gottman principles, SYMBIS frameworks, and evidence-based methods, we help you identify unhealthy patterns, build practical skills, and develop new ways of relating.
Understanding your God-given temperament changes everything. Self-awareness and empathy grow as you see how you are wired and how you grow best.
Counselors from diverse Christian backgrounds, united by a commitment to faith-integrated, clinically excellent care.
