In this episode, recorded almost exactly a year after the COVID-19 pandemic forced lockdowns across the U.S., we have a deep conversation with two Antiochians working on the front lines of mental health to discuss the ways the field of therapy is evolving. Dr. Doug Wear is the Director of Antioch’s Community Counseling and Psychology Clinic in Seattle. The clinic was fast in adapting to the circumstances of the pandemic and has been offering free counseling to frontline health workers this whole year. Lane Janger is a current student in AULA’s Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology program where he has spearheaded the development of Antioch Community Therapy Services (ACTS), a clinic that offers free tele-counselling to Californians affected by the pandemic. Doug and Lane share the difficulties they’ve faced trying to meet their communities’ counselling needs as well as their insights into how the field has already changed with the rise of teletherapy—and how more change is inevitable. Looking to connect with a therapist in the state of Washington?
