About Our Staff
Bill Shattuck
The directors and founders of Whispering Cove Retreat are Bill and Jenny Shattuck. Bill earned a BA degree in Bible and Theology with the Pastorate as a minor from Columbia International University, formerly Columbia Bible College. After graduating from Bible college, he was led by God to complete two graduate programs in counseling, one from Georgia State University and the other from Psychological Studies Institute (a Biblical, integrated approach to counseling psychology). After his graduate studies, he was hired by Rapha, a ministry which provided a Christian approach to counseling in the psychiatric hospital setting, and has served as the clinical coordinator of two of their hospital units. After resigning from Rapha, Bill worked with two psychiatrists in their practices before establishing a private practice of his own. Having practiced more than twenty years in the counseling field, and having had his own personal growth journey, he brings extensive knowledge and counseling experience to the Whispering Cove program.
