Looking for a faith-based marriage counselor close to home? Shadetree serves couples in Ocala, The Villages, Gainesville, and online across Florida.
Finding the right marriage counselor matters. At Shadetree Christian Counseling, we combine clinical skill with Christ-centered care so your marriage can heal and grow in a space that honors your faith. We serve Central Florida in person and meet couples anywhere in the state online.
Whether you are in crisis, drifting, or simply wanting to grow, we make starting easy. Same-week availability is often possible, and we will match you with a counselor who fits your needs and your location.
Every couple comes to us for different reasons. If any of these resonate, you are not alone, and help is closer than you think.
You want to sit in a room with a counselor, not only a screen, and you want that office to be a reasonable drive away.
You want a counselor who understands the role faith plays in your marriage, without skipping the clinical rigor.
You do not want to wait weeks for an intake. We work to offer same-week or next-week openings whenever possible.
You need evening appointments, a long commute to avoid, or simply the ease of meeting from home. Online works.
Infidelity, a betrayal, or a breaking point has brought you here, and you want expert care, not a generic script.
Counseling is confidential by design. Our offices and online sessions are private, respectful, and unhurried.
A new baby, a move, a career shift, or a diagnosis is reshaping your marriage and you want support that thinks ahead.
You do not have to wait for something to break. Counseling is powerful preventive care for any marriage.
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's design for marriage is good, and His grace is sufficient. Scripture informs how we approach conflict, forgiveness, and intimacy, giving your marriage 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 your spouse'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.
