Whether you're facing a crisis or simply feel the distance growing, there is hope — and you don't have to figure it out alone.
At Shadetree Christian Counseling, we help couples move past frustration, hurt, and disconnection toward a marriage rooted in understanding, trust, and genuine intimacy.
Our counselors integrate faith, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of temperament to help you and your spouse see each other more clearly — and love each other more fully.
Every couple's story is different, but the longing for connection is universal. If any of these resonate, you're not alone.
Conversations that turn into arguments — or silence that says more than words.
Infidelity, dishonesty, or broken promises that have left deep wounds.
Feeling like roommates instead of partners — going through the motions without real connection.
The same arguments on repeat, no matter how hard you both try to change.
Clashing over finances, parenting styles, or the direction of your life together.
Grief, career changes, or major transitions that are putting strain on your relationship.
A desire to strengthen a good marriage and take your connection to the next level.
Not sure whether to stay or go — and needing clarity before making a life-changing decision.
Seeking help is one of the strongest things you can do for your marriage.
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 — 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.
Every couple is different. Some experience breakthroughs within 6–8 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your counselor will work with you to set goals and check in on progress regularly — the pace is always guided by your needs.
It's more common than you think. You can start with individual counseling to work on your own growth. Often, when one partner begins to change, the other becomes more open. We're also happy to answer your spouse's questions before the first session.
Not at all. While our counselors integrate faith and biblical principles, we welcome all couples regardless of background or belief. Our goal is to serve you with compassion and clinical skill, wherever you are in your journey.
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 believe finances should never be a barrier to healing. Please visit our Fees page or connect with us directly for current session rates — we're happy to discuss options.
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.
