About
Like you, doctor of behavioral health and therapist Wendy Boring-Bray has seen the words healthcare and wellness defined numerous ways over the years. Is it charisma and positive thinking? Meditation and chanting? Decisiveness? Is it all about the situation? Is it meant only for the chosen few who smile all the time? Or, is there a different story?
With over 7 years coaching, speaking, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches counseling experience, her view is radically different. Wendy appreciates, and shares with patients, that change and wellness is a moment-to-moment choice and not always about medication, doctor appointments or defeat. Wellness is for everyone, everyday. It's how we should live our life.
Wendy, sometimes referred to as the “Group Queen” for her ability to conjure up a wellness group on numerous topics or as the “Relationship Expert” for her communication skill that brings out the best in patients, is known for her practical, street-savvy style; Wendy's fusion of real-life stories and her conversational techniques connect with her patients at an intimate, intense and individual level.
Wendy is a Doctor of Behavioral Health and Licensed Professional Counselor that enjoys to work with all ages of patients that want to make wellness a part of their lifestyle. She has served as an Assistant Director of an academic doctoral program for several years teaching providers how to best serve patients in several healthcare settings. She is also the author of the Psychology Today blog, A New Beginning.
While working with all ages, Wendy has found a passion in working through play therapy techniques, holistic wellness, and positive psychology.
