5. Is This a Felony?

Our very own Allie Joy shares her bad therapist story. When a friend's barbecue turns into uncovering some seriously unethical practices, Allie must scramble and ethically respond to someone in her social circle who is claiming to be an art therapist, despite no formal training or credentials. Allie shares with us how she navigated the situation, what thoughts were racing through her head, as well as how you can avoid this Class D felony in your own practice.
