Therapist Affair Lawsuit: Affair during Therapy

Professional psychotherapy never includes sex. It doesn’t matter if you, the patient, started or wanted the sexual involvement with the therapist. Therapists are responsible for keeping sexual intimacy out of the therapy relationship and are trained to know how to handle a patient’s sexual attractions and desires.

It is unethical and illegal for a therapist to have sex with a patient.

Therapist Affair Lawsuit: Affair after Therapy

Under state laws, sexual contact after termination of therapy is also illegal and unethical if the state law for a period of years, often two years.

Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. recently settled a claim on behalf of a woman who had an affair with her therapist after therapy had ended. The woman was in her early 20’s when she began seeing a therapist to help her deal with the emotional aftermath of an amicable yet painful divorce. Almost immediately, the therapy sessions turned flirtatious, with the therapist quickly confessing his emotional and physical attraction to the woman.

Eventually, the therapist terminated the counseling relationship with the woman, and the two began having an affair. At one point, the therapist agreed to leave his wife, but he later backed out. The relationship then began to deteriorate, and the woman eventually came to realize that her affair with the therapist was wrong.
