About Jeanette Grissom

I am an outpatient Co-occurring Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselor Licensed in Indiana with over 36 years of experience providing a wide range of treatment services to non-inpatient and non-partial hospitalization hurting people. Individual Therapy and Group Psycho-Education Therapy have been the foundation of services I have provided. Additionally, I have worked with Trauma-Impacted people for many years.

Overall health and wellness represent my counseling style. My counseling approach is solution focused integrating and incorporating mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy (RT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to empower and to promote self-efficacy in people.

I utilize the unique situations of every person to design an Individual Treatment Plan that addresses the presented and expressed needs of each person seeking service. I understand how difficult it is to reach out for help and I also understand the power and confidence gained in healing the wounded child.

The first step is getting started. If you are ready to start your journey, I look forward to helping you create and live your success story.

Specialties:
*Depression
*Anxiety
*Addictions/Disorders
*PTSD/Trauma
*Coping Skills/Tools
*Self Esteem/Self Image
*Communication Problems
*Relationship Issues

I am comfortable with and have experience providing a variety of therapeutic treatment approaches and life skill enhancement strategies. Efficacy is the end result of a person’s motivation, application and implementation efforts to embrace change that aligns with the person’s desired outcome. What I don’t know, I learn. Where I can help, I do. My primary focus is overall health and wellness.

“Jeanette Grissom has helped me so much. From helping me to have self respect and set healthy boundaries to managing my PTSD(things from the past) and many other issues. She is very knowledgeable with real facts. I appreciate this about her and would recommend her to anyone in a crisis situation.”

“Jeanette is an excellent therapist. She listens without judgment and gives me realistic, doable tools that I can actually apply to my everyday life. I really appreciate that our sessions don’t just focus on talking through things, but also on practical ways to navigate situations differently moving forward.

“Jeannette Is by far one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. I have several complicated issues in my life and she has stuck by me with supportive feedback and a sympathetic ear to listen. I rate her with perfect 10 scores and 200% satisfaction. Anyone going through a difficult life situation that stumbles upon her assistance will be quite lucky!”

“I've only had a few sessions, but I can honestly say this Jeanette is the real deal. She is professional, caring, and refreshingly honest — the kind of honest that challenges you in the best way. She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, she helps you see what you need to see, with compassion and grace. From the very first session, I felt safe, heard, and respected. She has a gift for asking the right questions and helping you uncover your own truth. If you're looking for someone who will walk alongside you with both wisdom and warmth, I highly recommend Jeanette. I'm so grateful I found her.”

“I am grateful for her expertise and how she supports, understands and me take another look at the situation. I appreciate her for being so gentle with my vulnerability.”

“Jeanette has been a light for me where there was only darkness. We are taught where there is light there cannot be darkness and she has been vital in helping me overcome tremendous loss and grief in my life. Her expertise and caring approach to her clients is noteworthy and deserves to be commended. I would recommend her to anyone who is considering therapy as she is extremely skilled at what she does and obviously loves her job.”

“Jeanette has been nothing but a blessing in my life. From the first session she did, she has been nothing but a positive impact on my life, the light when everything else seemed dark. Jeanette truly is one of the best people I’ve ever met :)”
