Doc Murdock

Biography

After completing my undergraduate degree in communications, I began a career in retail mgmt. While in this career I noted a need for a more intersectional and social justice informed supervision style. The drive to understand the clinical acumen needed to help people thrive at work sparked my desire for a new career in counseling. After completing a masters in counseling, I completed a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. My aim in completing the highest terminal degree was to help me advance my skill set. Post-graduation I worked as a clinical director at a regional community behavioral health organization. In addition, I taught adjunct at Adler University. The opportunity to teach at Bradley University has allowed me to continue in my efforts to affect change by helping develop social justice practitioners.
