ABOUT

Welcome to Abide Counseling & Education. I’m Terri, and I’m grateful you’re here. If you are carrying pain, grief, trauma, or the weight of difficult life circumstances, you do not have to walk through it alone. Healing is a journey -- not simple or quick -- but possible. With compassionate support and God’s guidance, there is hope for restoration, renewed strength, and life with greater peace, freedom, and joy.

My desire is to provide compassionate care, practical tools, and faith-centered encouragement for every step of the healing process. Through counseling, online courses, and group support, I seek to create a safe and grace-filled space where you can begin to process your experiences, strengthen your faith, and move forward with purpose. Every part of this journey is designed to support healing and help you build a forward-moving life grounded in hope, joy, and peace.

I am Terri Hutchison, Director of Abide Pastoral Counseling. My journey began in public education and continued through several meaningful years of ministry in a military boarding school. Along the way, I completed graduate studies in communication, gifted education, and English education. Through these experiences, God shaped both my heart for people and my calling to serve through faith-based counseling. Today, I am committed to walking alongside individuals like you with compassion, wisdom, and biblical encouragement as they pursue healing and wholeness.
