Dr. Ab Abercrombie

W.P. “Ab” Abercrombie, Ph.D. has been in private practice as a Christian Counselor and Family Therapist for the past 27 years. After his education in the social sciences, Dr. Abercrombie soon recognized the incompatibility of humanistic psychology and Scripture. Rejecting the secular methods of psychotherapy, he devoted himself to the sufficiency of God’s Word and the working of the Holy Spirit as the key elements of transformational change.

As the Founder of the Biblical Counseling Institute, Dr. Abercrombie speaks and teaches throughout the U.S. training pastors, lay leaders, and mental health professionals in the method and practice of biblical care. 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 resides with his wife Karen and their daughter Sarah in Fairhope, AL, where he maintains a private practice.
