There are generally five main courses of action when it comes to holding an unethical therapist accountable. Survivors can file a board complaint with the state licensing board, which can investigate, discipline, or revoke a therapist’s license. They may also pursue a civil lawsuit, seeking financial damages for harm caused. A third option is going through health insurance, which can conduct its own investigations and may remove a clinician from their network. In cases involving sexual assault, fraud, or other criminal behavior, survivors can pursue criminal action through law enforcement. And finally, even when other avenues are limited, survivors can report the therapist to their professional association, which can issue ethics findings, sanctions, or removal from membership.
