Shelly Wright pursued a much different path than her ex-husband, Jeff Probst. Wright is a Tennessee-based therapist who specializes in trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, according to Psychology Today. In her bio for the platform, she writes, “I have experience working with people who feel stuck, are making difficult life transitions, or are having difficulty with feeling anxious or sad.”
As displayed on her LinkedIn page, Wright has been involved in the social work field for quite a long time. Since 2006, she’s worked at the Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center in the city of Murfreesboro, holding the positions of clinical supervisor, clinical director, and sexual assault therapist. In 1996 — the year she got married to Probst — Wright started working as the State Victims Services Director for MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Tennessee State Office in Nashville. She occupied that role for eight years. Wright studied at the University of North Dakota and the University of Tennessee, where she received her master’s in social work and sociology.
