Wendy is also a member of the International Cultic Studies Association and has presented talks and moderated panels at ICSA conferences. One of her greatest achievements was writing the book, I Can’t Hear God Anymore: Life in a Dallas Cult, the true story of the couple’s involvement in and eventual separation from a spiritually abusive group.
We provide services for individuals who have been impacted by spiritual or cultic abuse.

About Us

Doug & Wendy Duncan
Doug Duncan, MS, LPC, is a therapist in the Dallas metroplex specializing in recovery from cultic and spiritual abuse. Doug was a member of an aberrant religious group for more than twenty years and it was that experience that led to his commitment to help others heal from abusive groups or cultic experiences. After leaving the cult with his wife, Wendy, he began the task of rebuilding his life. Doug enrolled in a master’s program in counseling and earned a degree and license to practice therapy. Doug recently retired from Nexus, a substance abuse recovery center in Dallas, TX. Wendy Duncan is a retired social worker and holds a master’s degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She has spent most of her career in the mental health field and recently retired from Garland Behavioral Hospital. Wendy was also a former member of a pseudo-Christian, Bible-based group, and several years after leaving, she became active in cult awareness activities. She and Doug started a support group for former members of cults over fifteen years ago and continue to facilitate this monthly support group. They are also the facilitators of a support group for individuals who have experienced spiritual or religious abuse.
