The Real Person:

Jane Kimball’s special skills reside in her counseling work with adolescents and children. She has a natural ability to get inside the heads and experience of young people, and especially kids in trouble or pain. For this reason as well, she is uniquely suited for helping parents and other adults understand how to better help their children. Kids seem to take to her naturally, except sometimes when she (it seems effortlessly) cuts through their “games” and pushes them to be more honest and “real” with themselves and others.

She also works well with turmoil families - but will definitely limit herself in how many she can handle at one time.

Jane has been married to her pharmacist husband for 37 years. They have two daughters, now old enough to thank her for the diligence and wisdom of her parenting skills. One daughter has given them a granddaughter, Becca (b 4/05), and a newer grandson Alex (b 12/07) - who are the new center of Jane’s life.  Just ask her.

Note:  During this year (2008), Jane has greatly curtailed her client work due to health and family matters.  But do not hesitate to ask for her services - she will say yes as able.    WKM
