Meet TCM Panel Therapist,
Jim Kolbe
Jim has been happily married for 27 years
and has three children and two
grandchildren.
Jim worked in the
criminal justice field for most of his
career. He was a corrections officer,
worked on the streets with criminal teens
and was a youth pastor primarily working
with youth at risk. For 15 years he was
executive director and founder of a youth
mentor program called Teen Outdoor
Adventure. It was an adventure based /
experiential learning model that used
hunting, fishing, survival and the
outdoors to produce lifelong change in
hurting young people.
Jim had no intention of ever being a
counselor. His passion for teens and
families that are hurting drove him back
to college so he would have more tools to
offer those he served.
During his
internship at TCM, he realized that God
had been directing his path the entire
time. Psalm 37:23 “The steps of a good
man are ordered by the Lord: and He
delights in his way.” Challenging God all
the way, he decided to give it a try. His
caring supervisor, Dr. Al Winebarger,
opened his eyes to the healing power of
counseling. Seeing lives change before
his eyes let him know he was right where
God wanted him.
In 2005 Jim graduated from Spring
Arbor University with a Master’s Degree
in Counseling. He is currently a Limited
Licensed
Psychologist,
Licensed
