IWU Graduate, Wabash County Native Joins Staff as Therapist
Joel most recently has experience at nearby Wabash Friends Counseling Center and Compass Rose Academy. He also has experience in substance abuse counseling, individual, couple, group and family counseling as well as having worked with athletes – having worked in the mental health field for more than seven years.
Makin offers general therapy to all family members and is especially interested in counseling families who face increasing abuse of drugs. That increase, according to Makin, comes as drugs, like heroin, become so cheap and accessible. Since 2005, the use of heroin among males has increased 73 percent, he adds. Among women, however, the use has skyrocketed to 415 percent.
Makin holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling from Huntington College and a certificate of addiction counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University.
People who would like to secure the therapeutic services of Makin or other mental health professionals at Radiant Health should call 764.662.9971.
