The combination of Wendy Boorn's many years
of education, post-graduate training, and professional experience
enables her to be highly effective at treating a wide variety
of issues. By the time people seek professional help for their
personal problems, they are usually feeling discouraged and
even hopeless. Boorn takes very seriously the power of her
position and does everything possible to provide an emotionally
safe and nurturing environment in which growth and change
can flourish. She offers hope because she believes in people's
ability to evolve and change.
Boorn calls her treatment approach holistic systems therapy,
meaning that she sees her clients not just in terms of their
psychological makeup, but holistically, as the sum total of
the parts of body, mind and spirit. Together with her clients,
she assesses strengths and deficits in each of these domains.
She also sees her clients in context, as part of various
systems, which might include:
 |
Intimate partnership |
|
Family |
|
School |
|
Religious institution |
|
Neighborhood |
|
Workplace |
|
Family of origin |
All of these systems are continually influencing and being
influenced by her clients. Boorn believes that, as any one
person in a system begins to change, the entire system
will begin to change. Therefore, by working with just
one person, she can help bring about change in a strained
relationship between a mother and an adult child or between
a husband and wife.
Boorn describes her therapeutic style as gentle, yet challenging.
Her approach is direct and interactive, yet respectful and
kind. Possible treatment techniques are much less important
to her than is the quality of her relationship with her clients,
for she believes that it is the relationship itself which
becomes the agent for change.
She cares deeply about her clients and believes fiercely
in their ability to create for themselves the kind of life
that they yearn for. She sees herself not as a distant expert,
but rather as a hands-on guide, teacher, and encourager.
She envisions the therapeutic relationship as a partnership
which she enters into with energy and enthusiasm. Wendy Boorn's
ultimate goal is to teach her clients how to be their own
therapists and not need her anymore.
