Mark Idol Counseling

Mark Idol Counseling is a mental health counseling practice in Silverton, Oregon, offering pastoral counseling for individuals, couples, and youth. Mark Idol came to counseling through his years as a pastor, where he spent meaningful one-on-one time with congregants and felt called to provide comfort to those in pain and to nurture hope in those who were struggling. That work led him to study counseling more deeply so he could offer stronger support to people facing life's challenges. He has trained and worked with the team at Integrative Counseling Institute, which he has said expanded both his understanding of God and his understanding of counseling care. He and his wife Melody have been married 20 years and are raising three teenage boys; they have walked through painful seasons themselves and have seen how integrative counseling can help bring about healing. Mark has been snowboarding, mountain biking, wakeboarding, skateboarding, and surfing since a young age, and today rides his Triumph motorcycle through the farmlands around Silverton, the town he calls home and the focus of his counseling work. The practice holds a 5.00 rating from 6 reviews.

The office sits on North 1st Street, a short walk from the Silverton Commercial Historic District and about a tenth of a mile from Town Square Park and the Bobbie the Wonder Dog memorial.

Mark Idol Counseling pairs pastoral counseling with the life experience of a counselor who has raised a family and worked through hard seasons himself, serving Silverton from an office in the heart of town.
