COURAGE TO BEGIN
STRENGTH TO BECOME
FOCUSED ON MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH, WE OFFER SPECIALIZED COUNSELING
At Bear Creek Recovery, we know it takes courage for men to reach out for help. Life’s pressures and demands can leave men feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck. These struggles often show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, or the quiet weight of inadequacy. That’s why we provide a space where you’re more than a number. You’re a human being with a story that matters.
We believe the family is under attack, and when men lose their sense of purpose, everyone feels the impact. Our mission is to help men heal, rediscover their true selves and step back into their roles as husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, and leaders. Effective therapy doesn’t just strengthen men, it strengthens families. At Bear Creek Recovery, we provide the tools, strategies, and support men need to overcome obstacles and step into a life of resilience, confidence, and balance.
OUR MISSION IS CLEAR
We help men rebuild what matters.

OUR TEAM
Justin Makin, CMHC
Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Justin “Bear” Makin is a licensed counselor dedicated to helping men rebuild strength, direction, and confidence in their lives. His approach is grounded, straightforward, person-centered and focused on resolving the kind of trauma and stress that impact performance, relationships, and everyday life.
He believes counseling shouldn’t feel clinical or intimidating—it should feel as natural and comfortable as going to a ball game. Having walked through his own share of hard roads, Justin understands firsthand the weight of a tough upbringing, strained relationships, and the hits that can wear down a man’s confidence and mental health. With a decade of experience owning and operating residential treatment centers, along with years working in Utah’s oil fields, he brings a real-world, no-nonsense approach that resonates with the men he works with.
