W.P. “Ab” Abercrombie, Ph.D. has been in private practice as a Christian Counselor and Family Therapist for the past 29 years.

He holds a M.S.W. degree in Clinical Social Work and a Ph.D. in Human Services with a major in Psychology. He is licensed to practice in both Alabama and Florida as a mental health professional and he is a Licensed Southern Baptist Minister.

Dr. Abercrombie has published numerous articles on Christian and family life and is co-author of two books: Wonderful Counselor: A Return To Truth and CHRISTIAN SHRINKS Answer ALL Your Questions…(No Couch Required). He travels and teaches throughout the U.S. on the topics of Biblical Counseling and Discipleship. He resides with his wife Karen and their daughter Sarah in Fairhope, AL, where he maintains a private practice.
