We have experienced counseling for our son before, but no one has been able to engage our son the way Jim Grinnell has. Through Jim’s sincere efforts to hear us, his compassion and patience in allowing us to work through our issues, and his wise counsel, we are making clear progress. Even our 16 year old son commented that Jim is a good counselor – “He really listens to me and he helps me find answers to my problems.” I would recommend, and have recommended, Jim to other families.
