Doug Shirley is associate professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. Doug has been teaching and practicing counseling and psychology since 1999. In and through his private practice, Doug has had the opportunity to walk with any number of helping and healing professionals tending to the fallout that COVID brought to multiple professional realms. Doug has a passion for supporting the helpers themselves: those whose (early) life training has taught them to put others before themselves. In his teaching he is also active in guiding the next wave of counseling professionals: those who will usher our field into its future, whatever that might be.
