You chose each other for a reason. Rediscover what drew you together and build a partnership grounded in faith and mutual understanding.
Couples counseling at Shadetree is for partners at every stage: dating, engaged, newly committed, or decades in. We help you rediscover what drew you together, work through what's pulling you apart, and build a partnership grounded in faith, honesty, and mutual understanding.
Somewhere along the way, the connection that once came so naturally may have started to feel like hard work, or worse, like it's slipping away. That doesn't mean it's gone.

Every couple's story is different, but the longing for connection is universal. If any of these resonate, you're not alone.
Frequent arguments that never seem to get fully resolved, leaving lingering resentment.
Feeling emotionally disconnected or lonely, even when you're together.
Navigating a new baby, job loss, relocation, retirement, or other major transitions.
Rebuilding after a breach of honesty or fidelity that has damaged the relationship.
Disagreements about faith, parenting, finances, or the direction of your life together.
Emotional or physical intimacy has faded, and you're not sure how to rebuild it.
Navigating step-parenting, shared custody, and co-parenting dynamics.
You're not in crisis. You just want to build a stronger, healthier partnership.
Whatever you're facing, 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's design for your relationship is good, and His grace is sufficient. Scripture informs how we approach conflict, forgiveness, and intimacy, giving your partnership a foundation that lasts.
Trained in Gottman principles, SYMBIS frameworks, 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 your partner's, 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.

Ask Us AnythingMarriage counseling is specifically for married couples. Couples counseling is available to any committed partnership: dating, engaged, or married. The techniques overlap significantly.
Absolutely. Many of the healthiest couples we work with come not because something is broken, but because they want to grow. Proactive counseling prevents small issues from becoming major ones.
Most sessions are together. Occasionally, your counselor may suggest an individual session. The goal is always to strengthen the partnership.
Every couple is different. Some experience breakthroughs within 6-8 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. The pace is guided by your needs.
Yes. We offer secure video sessions for couples who prefer meeting from home. 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.
