Faith-based Christian counseling for couples, families, individuals, and teens in The Villages and Sumter County. A short drive to our Ocala offices, or meet with us from home online.
Shadetree Christian Counseling serves The Villages from our two Ocala offices, about a twenty-five minute drive away, and through secure online sessions. Many The Villages clients choose online for the ease, while others prefer an in-person visit when they are already coming into Ocala.
Our team brings together faith, clinical training, and temperament science to walk with you through whatever season you are in. Same-week appointments are often possible, and we will match you with a counselor who fits your needs and your schedule.
Shadetree offers a full range of Christian counseling services to The Villages and Sumter County residents.

Gentle, faith-rooted support for anyone carrying loss, including spousal loss and grief in retirement seasons.
One-on-one support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and faith questions.

Counseling for any important relationship in your life: partner, adult children, friends, or siblings.
Whatever you are facing, our team meets 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 meets people in every season, and His grace is sufficient. Scripture informs how we approach every service we offer, 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.
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 struggles, 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 move forward, navigate what you are carrying, and grow in the direction you want.
