Counseling Children and Adolescents is a distinct therapeutic art in itself.

I have known Jane Kimball for over 30 years.  We have children about the same age, and I have long enjoyed being a member of her extended family.

Our professional relationship began in those early years when I started asking her advice about young clients of mine.  It developed to the point where she would ask “would you like me to see (the client)?”  I became more aware of her extraordinary skills in relating therapeutically to kids; and most of my own skills in working with youth I have learned from Mrs. Kimball. She’s a natural.

She returned to school, graduating from the University of Michigan - Flint with two degrees in social work, and a straight-A academic record.  In 1997 we formed our professional partnership – McDonald and Kimball PLC Counseling Services.

Mrs. Kimball is also available for those (usually brief therapy) situations where a child is not doing well in school, and advice has been offered that he or she may “benefit from some therapy.”  This may be due to family stressors or other life situations that distract the child either consciously or unconsciously.  Or it may involve a form of “learning disability.”

Unfortunately, Mrs. Kimball is taking fewer clients these days.  However, I continue to accept young people as clients - and she is always there in the background, advising and teaching me how to do it well.
