Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) The Board
			 adopts the 2014 American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics as the
			 code of professional conduct.
(2)
			 The ACA code constitutes the standards against which the required professional
			 conduct of professional counselors and marriage and family therapists is
			 measured. It has as its goal the welfare and protection of the individuals and
			 groups with whom counselors and therapists work. This Code applies to the
			 conduct of all licensees, registered associates, persons granted temporary
			 practice authorization, and applicants, including the applicant's conduct
			 during the period of education, training, and employment which is required for
			 licensure. Violation of the provisions of this Code of Ethics will be
			 considered unprofessional or unethical conduct and is sufficient reason for
			 disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, denial of licensure or
			 authorization.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
Licensees, registered associates, persons granted temporary
				practice authorization, and applicants must:
(1) Accept the obligation to conform to
			 higher standards of conduct in the capacity of a counseling professional. The
			 private conduct of a licensee is a personal matter to the degree that it does
			 not compromise the fulfillment of professional responsibilities.
(2) Respect the traditions of the profession,
			 and refrain from any conduct that would bring discredit to the
			 profession.
(3) Correct, wherever
			 possible, false, misleading, or inaccurate information and representations made
			 by others concerning the person's qualifications, services, or products.
			 Advertisements must not be false, fraudulent, or misleading to the public.
			 Testimonials from current clients are not solicited for advertising or other
			 purposes due to the client's vulnerability to undue influence.
(4) Not engage in any conduct likely to
			 deceive or defraud the public or the Board, or participate in, condone, or
			 become associated with dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or
			 misrepresentation.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
Licensees, registered associates, persons granted temporary
				practice authorization, and applicants must:
(1) Abide by the Code of Ethics and all
			 applicable statutes and administrative rules regulating the practice of
			 counseling or therapy or any other applicable laws, including, but not limited
			 to, the reporting of abuse of children or vulnerable adults.
(2) Report to the Board within 30 days any
			 civil lawsuit brought against the licensee, registered associate, temporary
			 practitioner, or applicant that relates in any way to the licensee, registered
			 associate, temporary practitioner, or applicant's professional conduct and
			 notifies the Board of any disciplinary action or loss of a mental health
			 professional or state license, certification, or registration.
(3) File a complaint with the Board within 10
			 days when the licensee, registered associate, temporary practitioner, or
			 applicant has reason to believe that another licensee, registered associate,
			 temporary practitioner, or applicant is or has been engaged in conduct that
			 violates law or rules adopted by the Board. This requirement to file a
			 complaint does not apply when the belief is based on information obtained in
			 the course of a professional relationship with a client who is the other
			 counselor or therapist. In that case, the client-therapist confidentiality
			 supersedes the licensee or registered associate's requirement to report the
			 other therapist. However, this does not relieve a licensee or registered
			 associate from the duty to file any reports required by law concerning abuse of
			 children or vulnerable adults.
(4)
			 Not initiate, participate in, or encourage the filing of ethics complaints that
			 are unwarranted or intended to harm a counselor/therapist rather than to
			 protect clients or the public.
