My Professional Ethics and Standards of Conduct
I see my primary obligation is to compassionately uplift the wellbeing of others.
I aim to provide the highest quality of service to clients at all times.
I respect and honor my clients’ right to privacy and confidentiality. Out of respect for clients’ right to privacy and to maintain clear boundaries, I limit my social and personal interactions with clients, for a professional relationship only.
I believe that sexual intimacy of any kind with clients is unethical.
I hold myself responsible for acting in a professional manner in all interactions.
I honor the wishes, desires and needs of my clients at all times.
I respect the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual boundaries of clients.
I ensure that the purpose and nature of services to be provided, including all fees, are fully understood by clients prior to their receiving services. I believe in being open, honest and transparent about the costs of service, including any increases or changes in fees, and about our financial interactions in general.
I refuse to discriminate unjustly against clients and/or other health professionals.
I abide by all local, state and federal laws that apply to the nature of my practice.
I believe in contributing my knowledge and skills to programs promoting social wellbeing for those in need.
I provide my clients/students with tools they can use on their own, including writing exercises, meditation techniques and self-hypnosis whenever possible.
I am committed to my continuing education, including my own spiritual practice, to enhance my service to clients.
