When communication breaks down and trust feels fragile, it's easy to feel stuck. You don't have to settle for relationships that drain you.
At Shadetree, we help individuals and couples develop the awareness, skills, and spiritual grounding to build relationships that truly flourish. Whether you're navigating conflict with a partner, working through family tension, or learning how to set healthy boundaries, we walk alongside you with care and clinical insight.
Relationships are one of life's greatest gifts, and one of its greatest challenges. When patterns of avoidance, reactivity, or people-pleasing keep showing up, it's time to look beneath the surface.
Relationship counseling is for anyone who wants to grow in how they connect with others. If any of these resonate, you're not alone.
The same arguments with a partner, family member, or close friend. No matter how hard you try.
Difficulty setting or respecting boundaries in your closest relationships.
Trust has been broken by past hurts or betrayal, making vulnerability feel impossible.
Feeling unheard, misunderstood, or dismissed. Conversations turn into arguments or silence.
Unhealthy relational habits that leave you drained, anxious, or losing yourself.
Old wounds affecting how you show up in current relationships.
A longing to build stronger, more intentional relationships rooted in purpose.
Whether you come alone or with someone, counseling gives you tools to relate differently.
Seeking help is one of the strongest things you can do for your relationships.
Take the First StepWe bring together three powerful lenses to help you experience lasting transformation in your relationships.
God designed you for meaningful connection, and His grace is sufficient. Scripture informs how we approach conflict, forgiveness, and vulnerability, giving your relationships 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 the temperaments of those you love, 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 relational struggles, and what you hope to change.
Your counselor creates a tailored plan addressing your specific relational challenges with proven strategies.
Week by week, build the tools to relate differently. Most clients notice meaningful shifts within a few sessions.
Not at all. We work with individuals, couples, parents and teens, and family members. Any relationship that matters to you is worth investing in.
Marriage counseling focuses specifically on the marital relationship. Relationship counseling is broader. It can address any significant relationship in your life, including dating relationships, family dynamics, and friendships.
You can absolutely start on your own. Individual relationship counseling is incredibly effective. When you change how you show up in a relationship, the dynamic shifts, often dramatically.
It depends on your goals. Some people see meaningful progress in 4-6 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term work. Your counselor will check in regularly and adjust the plan as needed.
Yes. We offer secure video sessions for those 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.
