Dr. Edward Jenny and Associates proved to be a frustrating psychological practice. Despite Dr. Jenny's proficiency with psychological instruments, the practical application fell far short in addressing attachment issues, leaving the client without answers after a substantial two-year investment of time and money.
The introduction of a new associate, Dr. Shannon Gordy, brought little improvement. Her lack of awareness regarding the negative impact of her efforts, such as providing unsolicited nutritional advice and pushing for unrelated initiatives like starting a food co-op, demonstrated a shocking level of disconnect from clients' needs and a disregard for their struggles.
Both practitioners exhibited a concerning pattern of interfering with trauma processing, lacking the necessary somatic understanding to support clients effectively.
Dr. Edward Jenny's decision that it was appropriate to bring his new puppy into online therapy sessions raised significant concerns. While he claimed thoughtfulness by suggesting phone sessions instead of video to minimize disturbance, the notion of including a puppy in a therapeutic setting is unprofessional. The client should not have been put in a position where such a choice was necessary.
Furthermore, Dr. Jenny's defense of this action, asserting that his request was not unreasonable, reflects a lack of acknowledgment for professional boundaries and potentially compromised the therapeutic environment. This incident adds to the picture of a practice that fails to prioritize the client's needs and comfort, contributing to a subpar and unhelpful experience.
The overall experience with Dr. Edward Jenny and Associates was marked by a sense of disconnection, unhelpfulness, and a lack of empathy, ultimately making it a regrettable waste of time and financial resources for the client. read more
