History

 

Abundant Life, P.C. Counseling Services celebrates over 14 years of providing quality counseling services to South Metro Atlanta. In June of 2004, Abundant Life, P.C. Counseling Services began serving clients out of Community Christian Church in Sharpsburg, GA. As the practice grew, Harps Crossing Baptist Church in Fayetteville, GA invited Abundant Life, P.C. Counseling Services to expand to a second location by seeing client's out of their facility in 2008. In November of 2010, Abundant Life, P.C Counseling Services moved to it's own facility in Fayetteville off of Hwy 54 in Magnolia Office Park at 500 Lanier Avenue, W., Suite 606A. In order to better serve the south metro Atlanta community, Abundant Life, P.C. Counseling Services moved to a more central location in Peachtree City at Executive Suites at Aberdeen Corners at 2011 Commerce Drive, Suite A105 in May of 2014. April 18, 2016, Abundant Life, P.C. Counseling Services contracted with Connie Jones Counseling and Coaching, LLC which became The Peachtree City Therapy Group. In 2017, they changed their name to Arise Counseling and Coaching. Sharing a common passion and mission, we are so now excited to announce that Abundant Life Counseling Services has merged with The Center for living Balance to offer new and expanded services to better meet the needs of those we serve! We will now be serving you at The Center for Living Balance at 130 Governor's Square, Suite B in Peachtree City off of Hwy 54.
