What is the proper procedure if your child's therapist is leaving the practice to work elsewhere?
Professional Ethics
<p>Ask the therapist first. &nbsp;They will either tell you how to continue with them in the new job or give you a referral. &nbsp;They also will help your child with the transition. &nbsp;</p><p>If that fails, ask the agency where your child sees the therapist about next steps. &nbsp;There's an agency director or equivalent who will probably be happy to help you.&nbsp;</p><p>If that fails, and I hope it doesn't, consider finding a therapist on your own. &nbsp;</p><p>If the therapist is not helping or is behaving unethically, contact the state agency which issues the therapist's license for help and to let them know about your experience. &nbsp;That will protect the next parent. &nbsp;</p><p>Good luck. &nbsp;~Mark (www.MarkMorrisLCSW.com and www.LivingYes.org)</p>
