Abide Counseling Collective is a faith-integrated group practice founded by two licensed therapists who believe the Church deserves clinically excellent mental health care — and that Scripture deepens everything that happens in the room.
To strengthen churches, schools, and families by integrating biblical truth with clinical excellence — equipping Christlike therapists and serving communities locally and nationwide.
To become a trusted bridge between churches and mental health professionals — forming therapists of depth, conviction, and competence, and equipping the Church to care well for emotional and relational needs nationwide.
We believe every person bears the image of God — and that honoring that image means caring for the whole person. Their spiritual life and their emotional reality, held together with equal seriousness.
Scripture is the lens through which human suffering makes deeper sense and human healing becomes more complete. That conviction doesn't weaken clinical care — the research shows it deepens it.
Transformation is possible. Romans 12:2 names it. We've watched it happen in the room, year after year, with real people.
The posture we bring into the room matters as much as the training we carry into it. Humility, presence, and genuine care for the person in front of us — these are not soft additions to good clinical work. They are the work.
We believe the Church was never meant to carry its people's pain alone. When pastors and clinicians do their work well together, people get the care they actually need.
Adam has worked across treatment centers, schools, and private practice — but the thread running through all of it has been the same: a conviction that people heal most fully when their faith and mental health are held together in the same room.
He works with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, identity, and life transitions, drawing primarily from a family systems framework alongside cognitive behavioral approaches and EMDR. He brings a particular attentiveness to the patterns people inherit — from their families, their communities, their church cultures — and what it looks like to interrupt those patterns with both clinical skill and biblical truth.
What keeps Adam in this work is the moment a client begins to see themselves the way God sees them. Not the version shaped by failure, family wounds, or years of quietly believing they were worth less than they are — but their true worth and value as image-bearers of God. That shift, when it happens, changes everything. It is what Abide was built to make possible.
Adam attends The Church at Rocky Peak and carries a deep investment in the next generation — the teenagers, young adults, and families navigating a world that is asking more of them than any previous generation has faced. He co-founded Abide because he believes the Church is one of the most powerful forces for healing in a community and that it deserves clinical partners worthy of that calling.
Spencer provides a compassionate, faith-informed space for individuals and couples seeking to overcome compulsive sexual behaviors, rebuild trust after betrayal, and heal from trauma.
