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.
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.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jeanette Grissom. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have only had a few sessions with Jeanette but she is straight forward & does not sugar coat anything. She is helpful & challenges me to see things the way they are & not how I want them to be.

Jeanette listens, but is also so very experienced that she's able to bridge the gap, even when I'm not able to. I really appreciate that quality, especially as someone who's mindset has had to change about mental wellbeing; she's made the transition so much easier!

I have high expectations for all my health professionals I choose to go to, so finding the right therapist was paramount! Jeanette relieved my nervousness right away and although we’re just beginning the journey together, I have confidence that she is the right person to work with. She has already provided me insight into services that I did not know existed for my situation in which I’m seeking therapy. She also is very prompt about communication and sets the tone with the perfect blend of care, guidance, and accountability. I look forward to seeing the person I am in 6 months after having working with her.

There isn’t enough words to explain how helpful Jeannette has been. She understands my needs, concerns thoughts and is able to articulate it in a way I can understand, process and implement her recommendations. I wish everyone could have Jeanette as a therapist. ❤️

I have been with Jeanette only two weeks but, I feel comfortable talking to her. She takes the time to understand my pain and what I am going through l. Also she gives me work sheet to identify where my strong points are then. She helps me work on my weak points so I can get better with my week points.

I've been meeting with Jeanette since April of 2022. In the time she has helped me recognize what it is that I'm needing in my own life, not just from others, but from myself. She allows me to work at my own pace while encouraging growth and improvement. I'm thankful every day to have her as my therapist. I hope everyone in the world has an opportunity to have someone like Jeanette in their life.

Made ableist comments and when confronted about how this made me feel unsafe, she doubled down and did not try to rectify her mistake. She lacked tact (which was dangerous and put me in an emotionally unsafe place) and thus I have made the decision to seek a new counselor.

Jeanette is fantastic in so many facets of counciling. She is always punctual to our appointments and is prepared with what we've discussed over the app since our last meeting. Our conversations are meaningful to me because she listens so well and her responses always give me pause to consider things I haven't before. We have a nice process to summarize our conversations key takeaways at the end, and she reinforces this with her own written summary on the app along with any supporting worksheets immediately after our conversation is finished. She follows up and checks in-between our appointments on the app too. There have been many times where she has helped me through some challenging times through our communication over the app between appointments . I can't say enough about Jeanette and her professional manor and her personal care. She is so good for me and my girls. Thank you so much for matching me with her!!!

Mrs.Grissom has changed my life in so many great ways including mental, spiritual and physical health. She’s such a joy and you can tell that she really cares about her clients. I feel like an absolute new person in every way. I face life challenges with much ease and joy. I no longer have knots in my shoulders from stress. I used to get a massages and they would go down some but come back the same or bigger. Since seeing Mrs.Grissom those knots have not been back and I just feel so much lighter. I’m no longer depressed and I grateful to her. I’ve had at least 10 therapist in my lifetime and Mrs.Grissom is by far the best. Finding a therapist is similar to finding the perfect doctor. Once you do you don’t want to let them go. Granted I do the mental work needed but oh how she compliments the work I do. I always look forward to our talks and she’s always responsive. I am forever grateful. Thank you!!!
