Meet Your Counselor
Direct when you need honesty. Compassionate when you need help.
Rob McIntire brings more than twenty years of counseling experience, specializing in addiction, sexual integrity, marriage and family therapy, trauma, and men's issues. He is a Certified Addiction Specialist with training in EMDR and sex therapy.
Before becoming a counselor, Rob spent more than seventeen years in law enforcement as a narcotics and burglary detective, deputy sheriff, and training officer. That background gave him a direct, clear-eyed understanding of the patterns people fall into and the honest work it takes to change them.
Rob combines clinical knowledge with real-world experience, accountability with compassion, and faith with practical tools. He will not waste your time. He will not judge you. And he will not let you stay stuck.
How Rob Can Help
Counseling built for real problems.

Addiction Recovery
When willpower alone is no longer working, structured counseling provides the accountability, tools, and honest support that lasting recovery requires.

Learn About The StampedeThe Recovery Pattern
Understanding the pattern is the first step toward changing it.
Most addictive and compulsive behaviors follow a predictable cycle. Explore each stage below, then see how counseling interrupts it.
Trigger
Where it starts
Stress, conflict, loneliness, boredom, or unresolved pain activates the pattern. The brain begins searching for its familiar escape route, often before you are even conscious of it.
This cycle can be interrupted. See how counseling changes the pattern.
The Process
How counseling works.
No mystery. No vague promises. A clear process designed to create real change.
Reach Out Privately
Contact Rob through the website, phone, or email. Share only what you are comfortable with.
Discuss What Has Been Happening
An initial conversation to understand your situation, concerns, and what you want to change.
Identify Priorities and Patterns
Together, you will clarify what needs attention first and understand the patterns driving the problem.
Build a Clear Counseling Plan
A structured approach tailored to your specific situation, with concrete goals and practical steps.
Practice Accountability
Apply new tools, build healthier responses, and have honest conversations about progress and setbacks.
Measure Meaningful Progress
Track real changes in your behavior, relationships, and quality of life, not just how you feel in session.
Progress is rarely perfectly linear. Counseling provides structure, support, and accountability through setbacks and growth. The goal is not perfection; it is consistent, honest forward movement.
The Stampede Men's Group
Face life's storms together.
The Stampede is a men's support and accountability group where men address addiction, relationships, faith, identity, recovery, sobriety, and mental health, together.
Buffalo are unique among animals: when a storm comes, they turn and face it head-on. The Stampede is built on that principle. Men walking into the hard things together rather than running from them alone.
Couples & Marriage
Broken trust does not repair itself.
Whether the damage comes from infidelity, addiction, emotional distance, or years of unresolved conflict, the relationship will not heal on its own. Hoping things get better without honest work leads to deeper disconnection.
Rebuilding requires honesty, responsibility, boundaries, consistency, emotional safety, and communication. Couples counseling provides the structure and accountability that makes real repair possible.
Rob does not promise that every relationship will be saved. He does promise direct, honest guidance and the tools to make informed decisions about the future of your marriage.
