About Shadetree

Healing and Faith, Woven Together

Shadetree Christian Counseling is a Central Florida practice helping couples, families, individuals, and teens move toward healing, growth, and hope.

Why Shadetree Exists

Counseling That Honors the Whole Person

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.

Our Values

What You Can Count On in Every Session

These six values shape how our counselors show up, how we build plans, and how we walk with every client from day one.

Whole-Person Care

Mind, body, heart, and spirit are not separate compartments. Every session cares for all of them together.

Faith as a Resource

Christian faith is a deep source of hope and healing. We offer it when clients want it, never impose it.

Clinical Excellence

Good intentions are not enough. Every counselor is committed to ongoing, evidence-based training.

Personalized to You

No cookie-cutter care. Your plan fits your story, your temperament, and your goals.

Welcome to All

We serve clients of every background and belief with the same excellent care. Doubt and questioning are safe here.

Hope as the Starting Point

We believe real, lasting transformation is possible. That hope anchors everything we do.

Our Approach

Three Lenses We Bring to Every Session

Faith, clinical skill, and temperament science woven together. None of these alone is enough. Together, they care for the whole human being.

Faith-Centered Foundation

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.

Clinical Excellence

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.

Temperament-Informed Insight

Understanding your God-given temperament changes everything. Self-awareness and empathy grow as you see how you are wired and how you grow best.
