About
They serve adult men, adult women, and teenagers seeking counseling that integrates psychological skill-building, physical health, and biblical faith into one coherent approach to healing and growth. The practice's primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, one of the most evidence-based modalities available, and one whose core principles find deep roots in Scripture. They combine the best of psychology, medicine when appropriate, and spiritual care, alongside the physiological foundations of sleep, nutrition, and movement. Shade Tree Counseling does not take insurance, instead choosing to remain private and confidential, free from the limitations and diagnostic labeling that insurance-based care requires. Their goal is not symptom management, but genuine flourishing, purpose, maturity, and a life worth living. They believe that people were made to thrive, to live with purpose, to grow in maturity, and to engage meaningfully with their family, community, and God. They want to help clients get there, not just stop when the crisis is over.
