A Day in the Life of an LA Therapist:
Exploring Legal and Ethical Issues

With
Curt Widhalm, LMFT

Therapists in Los Angeles have the opportunity to face it all! Whether it is a the glitz and glamour of being on the latest reality show or working on the streets with homeless clients with severe mental illness, Los Angeles therapists can find themselves facing almost any ethical or legal challenge imaginable. This workshop covers what Los Angeles area therapists are currently facing that is making the local and national headlines…and provides guidance on how to best manage these situations. This workshop meets the 6 CE BBS requirement for licensure renewal.

At the end of this presentation, participants will have a general understanding of the legal and ethical challenges facing LA therapists and best practices for handling them.
 

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe three situations that warrant a child abuse report to be filed
  2. Differentiate a supervisor’s responsibilities from a supervisee’s responsibilities in child abuse reporting requirements
  3. Identify two exceptions to confidentiality in court cases involving mental illness
  4. Describe three key components of informed consent
  5. Define telehealth and documentation requirements
  6. List three laws for therapists newly effective in 2023.
