Craig McIntosh

Craig McIntosh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in both Missouri and Illinois with 24 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from Texas A&M University in 1992 and a Master of Social Work from New Mexico State University in 1997. He has lived in St. Louis since 2004 and has spent the last twelve years serving as a social worker for the U.S. Air Force.

Craig is authorized to provide licensure supervision in both Missouri and Illinois, and he draws on a broad base of evidence-based practices to tailor care to each person. His clinical interests include stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, anger management, depression, addictions, issues affecting LGBT clients, coping with life changes, and work with domestic abuse. He also brings extensive experience with 12-Step recovery and offers parent coaching to help families reconnect and find more enjoyment in their relationships.

As a Gottman Level I certified couples counselor, Craig helps partners relearn how to listen, communicate, and rebuild emotional connection. He has long worked with men on topics such as fatherhood, masculinity, and relationship patterns, and he is comfortable engaging in existential conversations about life’s larger questions. Across these areas he combines practical, direct guidance with empathy, sometimes serious and sometimes humorous, depending on what the situation calls for.

Clients typically feel supported and encouraged from the first meeting, and Craig aims for each person to leave a session feeling they made a good decision and are ready for the next step. He listens for what matters most to each client and then helps make that change real in everyday life. He looks forward to hearing from potential clients.
