Welcome to A Sheltering Tree
Come and join us at A Sheltering Tree, Center for Counseling and Creativity. As you first walk up the steps of the 120 year old house, home to A Sheltering Tree, you will feel an inviting sense of healing, hope, and creativity. If you are at a place in your life where you are struggling with daily challenges or you simply want to have a more fulfilling and joy-filled life, then welcome. A Sheltering Tree offers connection, respite, guidance, and support for you as you make your way on your life’s journey.
A Sheltering Tree provides this assistance in many different ways. Individual, couple, and group counseling offer direction in making the changes needed for a more fulfilling and joy filled life. Classes and workshops offer opportunities to learn more about all aspects of life — relationships, personal growth, body work, creativity, etc. Hours are also set aside for those seeking spiritual guidance and direction. Week-end and week-long retreats to beautiful, serene settings offer once in a lifetime experiences and chances to learn more about yourself and others.
