Elbow Tree Counseling

Did you know we are taking new clients in South Florida now too?

There is often local folklore around elbow trees. Sometimes, they point towards water or some other significant landmark. The message of this tree is simply, “turn here.” Stop by and let us help you get oriented in your particular situation.

We’re excited to welcome Chris Sexton to the Elbow Tree counseling team! 🌳

Chris brings a warm, thoughtful, and compassionate presence to the counseling room, and we’re grateful to have him joining our community of clinicians.

Chris is currently accepting new clients at two of our Northeast Florida locations:

🌊 Jacksonville Beach — Fridays
🌿 St. Augustine — Saturdays

Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, working through something from your past, or simply recognizing that it may be time to have someone walk alongside you, Chris would be honored to be part of that journey.

At Elbow Tree, we believe counseling is about creating a place where people can be seen, heard, known, and accompanied toward greater freedom and wholeness.

Welcome to Elbow Tree, Chris. We’re really glad you’re here.

Sometimes the hardest part of counseling is simply taking the first step.
At Elbow Tree Christian Counseling, we believe you were never meant to carry the difficult parts of your story alone. Our team of experienced counselors is here to offer a safe, thoughtful, and compassionate place to work through the places where life feels stuck, painful, confusing, or overwhelming.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety or depression, trauma, grief and loss, marriage or relationship struggles, family challenges, life transitions, or simply longing to understand yourself and your story more deeply, we’d be honored to walk alongside you.
For nearly a decade, Elbow Tree has been serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Northeast Florida, with offices in St. Augustine and Jacksonville Beach.
And we’re excited to share that Elbow Tree is now accepting new clients in Fort Lauderdale and South Florida.
If you’ve been thinking about counseling, perhaps this is your invitation to take that next step.

“To laugh often and love much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ― Lucy Hone, Resilient Grieving
