Wendy J Bourg, PHD

Dr Bourg conducted the custody evaluation for my divorce case involving 4 minor children. My other two children were ove...r 18 but asked to be interviewed. She spent a heroic amount of time digging into the issues, used play therapy and other age appropriate approaches with the kids and stayed up all night to be sure that the report was thorough and fair. The chances were against me as a full time working father seeking custody of the children but she ultimately sussed out the sad truth behind my kids’ mothers’s mental health issues which resulted in abuse. Years later, the children are largely estranged due to the continued abuse which only confirms that Dr Bourgs evaluation was accurate. Highly recommend - not because I ultimately won my custody case but because this Doctor clearly cared about coming to the right conclusion and used a very scientific yet humane approach. more details

Please be absolutely aware that you have to expect the worst in every aspect of professionalism and ethics. Flat out dan...gerous. Biased and extremely malicious. Best tip. Run. Otherwise RECORD everything. more details

W Bourg was our custody evaluator five years ago. I was virtually forced by the efforts of the opposing party to engage ...in this evaluation. However, I entered the process with hopes and trust that the truth of our matters would be revealed and that my three children would receive a just and correct decision so that they could live the best life possible in a restructured family with cooperative co-parenting. Her innacurate, biased, irresponsible, careless, extremely flawed interpretations and questionable conduct resulted in favor towards the abusive pathogenic parent. That parent was then given the green light to continue his control and manipulation of me and our children. Over the last three plus years, he managed to completely alienate our children from me. There were other players (multiple attorneys, counselors, judge) along the way who contributed to the ultimate status of a destroyed parent-children relationship, but much credit goes to Wendy for setting the stage which has resulted in unnecessary family bond destruction that may never be repaired. I have heard far too many similar cases associated with this person. I pray for change, for the sake of any other families currently associated with her services. It pains me to speak out negatively about another human being, but something is very wrong and corrupt with this system and the highly compensated 'experts' who are easily taken in by the pathogen and completely miss what children really need. more details

I've spent more money paying my attorney to help me address issues of Dr. Bourg than addressing issues about my ex. She ...doesn't reply to emails at all (for instance 6 nonresponses in a 2 month period. She didn't even acknowledge receiving the emails) or doesn't fully address issues for almost 6 months. When Dr. Bourg makes recommendations as a parent coordinator, she doesn't make sure that there's follow through even though I email her of the repeated noncompliance on my ex's part. She makes assumptions and accusations about me which are wholly untrue and can be proved untrue by looking at facts and is very defensive when problems are pointed out. For instance, Dr. Bourg and her assistant emailed instead of phone conversations, email check-ins would be acceptable. Then when I brought up issues about her role as parent coordinator, she emailed my ex and me stating that I was in noncompliance of her phone call recommendations. That was the first time I was told I was in noncompliance. It's very confusing and scary that she would allow the purported noncompliance to go on for months without saying something after my first email rather than phone call to her then accuse me of being noncompliant. There are issues that are even more serious, but this summary should give you a good picture of what I've experienced having Dr. Bourg as our parent coordinator. Maybe Dr. Bourg is a good parent coordinator to some, but to me, her professionalism is grossly lacking. more details

Dr. Wendy has the inability to meet appointment times, research documentation, follow up as an advocate on both sides of... an issue.
Dr Wendy has the ability to work on the "case" for years with little to no success of meeting the needs of children.

I would recommend extreme caution when choosing her as a provider. more details
