What Is Christian Counseling?
Abundant Grace International employs a method of Discipleship Counseling utilizing spiritual, Biblical principles. In this kind of counseling, the Holy Spirit, not the counselor, is The Counselor, and God becomes the agent of change, provided the counselee cooperates with Him. Our goal is to convey a way of freedom from mental and emotional symptoms, family and marital conflict, as well as other difficulties.
Who Is Counseling For?
Our desire is to minister the New Covenant of Grace to those who desire to walk in freedom from any difficulties in which they find themselves. In addition, we disciple Christians who come with “no presenting” problem other than to grow in their walk with Christ.
What Can I Expect?
Abundant Grace International offers an initial intake session to discuss your needs and goals. Every session with our counselors is confidential as well as offered in a safe, comfortable setting.
1. How Do I Start the Counseling Process?
Call our office at 864-553-3866 to set up an initial appointment. We offer a safe and confidential intake to discuss your presenting problem.
2. How long do the sessions last?
Regular counseling sessions are fifty minutes in length and normally begin on the hour. This constitutes one counseling hour. You may expect at least 4-6 months of sessions; however, timing does vary based on client goals and needs.
3. How much does counseling cost?
Our counseling sessions start with an initial consultation for $95.00. Individual and couples counseling sessions are offered on a sliding monetary scale. The services we provide can be life changing and have lasting value, therefore, we encourage you to not only invest time and energy into your counseling but to make a financial investment as well.

A Divine Relief
~ by Wild At Heart
The more you give the parts of your life over to Jesus, the more his life is able to invade yours. The relief alone is worth the price.

Humanity Restored
~ by Wild At Heart
Jesus says that as our Good Shepherd, he is leading us. What an encouraging thought. Jesus is leading you, and he is leading me. He is shepherding us. I can feel something in my heart loosening even now as I consider this. Okay. I don’t have to make life happen on my own. Now, if Christ takes it upon himself to lead, then our part is to follow. And you’ll find that it helps a great deal in your following if you know what God is up to. True, we may not know exactly what God is up to in this or that event in our lives…
