Abundant Life Counseling Center: A Brief History of the Premier Boston Christian Counseling Center

June 11, 2008 – 2:57 pm

Abundant Life Counseling Center (ALCC) opened in 1983 under the directorship of Kristine Lima, a Christian Therapist in Boston and Cambridge, who now lives and practices in Seattle, Washington. Over Abundant Life Counseling Center’s 15 year span of providing quality Boston Christian Counseling, the counseling center had several directors including Elizabeth Mansfield and Dr. Anthony Centore.

Other Christian counseling centers came into being during that time including Boston Christian Counseling Center, Hope Counseling, and others.

Abundant Life Counseling Center is currently in a “hibernation state” according to its Board of Director Chair Dr. Paul Bothwell. IN the near future ALCC may begin providing Christian counseling services once again, with a focus on low-income and underserved populations, which was a focus of ALCC in the early years of its establishment as a Christian Counseling Center.

Thrive Boston Christian Counseling was developed by ALCC past director Dr. Anthony Centore, after ALCC closed its doors. Continuing with the professionalism and quality Christian counseling that was provided by ALCC, Thrive Boston Christian Counseling is currently based in Cambridge between Harvard Square and Central Square, and serves persons in the greater Boston area troubled by depression, anxiety, faith issues, eating disorders, relationship problems, marital issues, divorce or separation issues, and other life issues.
