A Message from Our Founder

Dr. Betsy Mejías, D.Min., LCSW

As the founder of The Abundant Life Institute, my heart is poured into mentoring our clinical team and cultivating the next generation of faith-based counselors. To ensure our practice provides the highest standard of care, I focus my time on leadership, program development, and clinical oversight.

While I no longer maintain an active therapy caseload, I have personally vetted each clinician on our team. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety, trauma, or personal growth, our therapists would be honored to support you. If you’re unsure which therapist is the best fit, we are here to guide you to the right counselor for your unique story.
