Looking for a faith-based counselor in The Villages? Shadetree serves The Villages and the surrounding area in person and online.
At Shadetree Christian Counseling, The Villages clients get the same combination of clinical excellence and Christ-centered care that has helped couples and individuals across Central Florida. We meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk with you at your pace.
Whether you are in crisis, drifting, or simply wanting to grow, we make starting easy. Same-week openings are often possible, and we will match you with a counselor who fits your needs and your schedule.

Every story is different, but the desire to feel well and whole is universal. If any of these resonate, you are not alone, and help is closer than you think.
You want a counselor who takes faith seriously, not as a side note but as part of how healing and growth happen.
You want evidence-based care, not platitudes. Our counselors are trained and continually developing their craft.
You do not want to wait weeks for a first session. We prioritize timely starts whenever possible.
Meet in our offices if that fits, or from The Villages via secure video. Both are equally effective.
Counseling is confidential by design. Our offices and online sessions are quiet, unhurried, and private.
No cookie-cutter approach. Your counselor builds a plan that fits your story, your goals, and your pace.
Faith, clinical skill, and temperament science together. We care for mind, heart, and spirit, not one slice of you.
Whether you need a short season of support or a longer journey, we are here for you in The Villages.
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.
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 as a couple: your history, your struggles, and what you hope to build together.
Your counselor creates a tailored plan addressing your specific challenges with proven strategies.
Week by week, build the tools to navigate conflict and deepen intimacy. Most couples notice shifts within a few sessions.
