Meet Marc

G. Marc Ackerman, LCSW — Mountain Solid Healing & Wellness

Marc Ackerman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty-four years of experience — but the part that matters most came long before the license — his own journey through recovery, healing, and learning to ask for help. That understanding lives in every session and every program here.

Whether it's a quiet session in his office, a fire circle at a men's retreat, or medicine work that reaches the places talk therapy cannot — the offer is the same. You don't have to do this alone. Marc is here, and the ground will hold.

Clinically Grounded, Personally Tested

IFS, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, Somatic Experiencing, ACT, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy — modalities Marc has trained in and experienced firsthand

Built for the Whole Person

Individual therapy, couples work, family sessions, group healing, multi-day retreats, and expanded states of consciousness — because no single container fits every human

Rooted in the Poconos

A practice surrounded by forest and mountain air — because the land itself is part of the healing, and some work is best done away from the noise

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you."
