Ethical Code of Practice

At AAIM COUNSELING, my mission is to provide a safe, respectful, and compassionate space for your healing and growth. My work is grounded in integrity, professionalism, and deep care for each individual who walks through my door.

Here’s what you can expect when you choose to work with me:

Confidentiality:
Your privacy is paramount. All information shared in sessions is held in strict confidence, except where disclosure is required by law to protect your safety or the safety of others.
Respect and Non-Judgment:
You will be met with unconditional respect and acceptance, regardless of your background, identity, or life experiences. This is a space free of judgment, where your story is honored.
Competence and Professionalism:
I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure I offer the most ethical and effective care. I will work within the boundaries of my training and expertise and refer you to other professionals if your needs fall outside my scope.
Transparency:
I believe in clear communication about the therapeutic process, fees, limits of confidentiality, and any other aspects of our work together. You have the right to ask questions and make informed decisions about your care.
Boundaries and Safety:
Maintaining professional boundaries ensures a safe and trusting environment. I will never engage in dual relationships that could impair professional judgment or exploit the trust in our therapeutic relationship.
Client Autonomy:
Your voice matters. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and you have the right to make choices about your treatment and to stop therapy at any time.
Cultural Sensitivity:
I strive to understand and honor the cultural, spiritual, and individual diversity of my clients. I recognize how these factors influence healing and tailor my approach accordingly.
