Introduction

I’m Dr. William C Shearer, a psychologist since 1977. I’ll tell you a little something about myself as we get started. In my clinical work I have three specializations. First, I deal with troubled relationships. Over half of my work is couples/marriage counseling. Secondly, I have also worked for 30 plus years in the treatment of addiction, and eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa, and Bulimia. Finally, I specialize in treating stress and anxiety disorders such as panic disorder. I am a wellness consultant and "Wellness and Well-being Coach" drawing upon my background in exercise physiology, clinical nutrition, and experience with health psychology. I have been a nutrition professor for over 15 years. I've had a varied career. I started out in New Jersey as a high school United States history teacher until accepting an Air Force commission. I continue to have a love of history and have taught history classes for a dozen colleges and universities. I entered the Air Force in 1966. Prior to retiring as a Lt. Col. I had served as a nuclear weapons instructor, an adviser to the Royal Saudi Air Force, an ROTC instructor, and the director of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and Air Force counseling center. I know those things don't really go together, but that's often the case with a military officer's career. My psychology doctorate is from the University of Tennessee. My MBA is from Pepperdine. My MPH (Masters in Public Health) is from Loma Linda University. I also have graduate degrees in education, and health services administration, five graduate degrees altogether. I guess that means I'm into education and I like variety (or it means I've been a long time figuring out what I'm going to do when I grow up). Altogether, I have taught for 14 colleges and universities and I am presently affiliated with several. Having degrees in five different areas, I enjoy teaching in each area and the schools I work for have been very accommodating in providing diverse assignments. As a result, I teach courses as varied as Human Nutrition, Professional and Technical Writing, Addictions Treatment, Organizational Behavior, Team Building, Organizational Consulting, Human Sexuality, Cultural Diversity, The Science of Obesity, and others. I believe that teaching adds a special dimension to my life. I enjoy facilitating growth and change in others and. I look forward to being a part of your growth. Now it’s your turn. Tell me what you would like to accomplish in counseling. What is your biggest challenge? What are your goals? Also, let’s set up a video chat to map out a direction and strategies for growth and change.
