We are a nonprofit ministry • You can help us bring hope, help, and healing to others

Stephanie Abbott

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges, emotional stressors, trauma, and personal growth.

My clinical training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Motivational Interviewing, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I use a strength-based, solution-focused approach to help clients build resilience, healthier coping skills, and deeper self-awareness.

Outside of my professional role, I am a pastor’s wife, a mom, and most recently, a proud “Mimi.” These roles continue to shape my perspective and deepen my belief in the importance of connection, resilience, and unconditional support in the healing process.

Starting in therapy can feel overwhelming and I see it as a privilege to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and understood as we journey with God toward greater healing and wholeness.
