Ethics: Safety and Solicitation

4 Hours CE/CPD | Online Ethics Course with Priscilla Fleming LMT

Ethics is not only about rules. It is also about safety, boundaries, communication, power, and professional confidence.

This thoughtful and practical course, presented by Priscilla Fleming LMT, explores the ethical challenges that can arise in the treatment room when professional boundaries, client behavior, language, power dynamics, and personal safety intersect.

Rather than approaching ethics as a dry compliance requirement, this course focuses on real-world therapeutic relationships and the professional judgment needed to recognize red flags, respond appropriately, and maintain a safe, respectful clinical environment.

A More Grounded Approach to Ethics

Ethical practice depends on more than good intentions. Practitioners must be able to recognize subtle shifts in communication, power dynamics, client behavior, and treatment room safety before a situation becomes unsafe or professionally difficult.

This course helps therapists develop greater awareness, clearer boundaries, and more confidence when screening new clients, identifying concerning behavior, and knowing when to decline or terminate services professionally.

Student Feedback

“In the over 30 years I have been in practice, this is the first Ethics course I have genuinely appreciated and enjoyed. I especially liked the podcast interview! The instructor was compassionate, balanced and very well spoken… I also found it refreshing to have a course that focuses on the practitioner and not the clients. A very well balanced and heart felt class. Thank you!”
