Professional Ethics:
- I welcome adults of all ages, race, gender, sexual, religious and cultural backgrounds. Because I speak only English fluently, all sessions are conducted in that language
- I am committed to providing high-quality, respectful, sensitive, and professional care to those who seek my services
- I perform only those services for which I am qualified. I represent my education, certification and professional affiliations and other qualifications honestly. I’m happy to discuss all of these qualifications with my clients.
- I respect the inherent worth and individuality of each person I work with. I work to eliminate oppression in my profession, in my relationships, and in the public sphere
- I respect the right of my clients to privacy and confidentiality.
- I do not engage in any sexual conduct or sexual activities with clients.
- Therapeutic benefits derived from my work are highly individualized and I am unable to predict what the outcomes of what we do together might be. I trust in each person’s process and timing for healing.
