Carlisle, Ohio drew settlers from the east who desired to settle in the fertile lands of the Ohio Valley. Large numbers of them came from New Jersey and it wasn’t long before Carlisle became better known as the Jersey Settlement. Farming, the railroad, and religion united the settlers and despite great urbanization surrounding them, Carlisle maintains a small-town atmosphere today. If your personal history starts to feel distant and disconnected, it may be more than a passing thing.

You don’t have to continue feeling like you’re riding a train to nowhere. Professional confidential counselors in the Carlisle area know just how to help you get on the right tracks to feeling better.

Hello! Erwin McIntosh III here, but please call me "Mac." I have been in the helping profession for ten years now. I started out as a qualified mental health specialist and after getting my Master's Degree in Counseling Education, I obtained my License in Professional Counseling in the state of Ohio in 2015. In January of 2021, I became a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio which means that I became an independent counselor. I have worked with a many Clients in a variety of settings including adults in nursing homes, residential homes, and parents of school aged children. I apply motivational interviewing as a foundation for the integration therapy that I utilize to help Clients heal using Person-Centered approach, explore their choices to improve them using Reality Therapy, examine their self-view to improve self-esteem using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and finally address the need to develop peace, mindfulness, and acceptance using Peace and Mindfulness techniques. By helping the Client heal from trauma, we open the door to new positive thoughts, a new positive mood, and a new outlook which leads to new positive choices. You learn that there is more to your life than the trauma you endured which leads to more balanced self-view and world view. Decisions can now be made from a broader framework based on hope, not pain from a past left behind physically but not mentally or emotionally. "We have to let go of what was, to enjoy what is." "We can't accept new love, if we are clutching to old pain." If you will permit me, I will use empathic listening, motivational interviewing, and integration therapy to help you heal and learn to love yourself.
