Who needs mental health counselor insurance?
Mental health counselors who assist patients in working through personal issues, such as anger management, depression, aging, parenting, relationships, stress or addiction should consider seeking professional and general liability insurance. A number of issues can occur as a result of working with clients who don't understand or connect with certain methodologies, as well as patient confidentiality and privacy issues. Getting counselor insurance is an effective way to protect yourself while providing beneficial mental health services to patients across all walks of life—especially for therapists who work in private practices.
