Ethics Policy

At Kentlands Psychotherapy, we are committed to the highest standards of ethical practice in all aspects of our clinical work, communication, and public engagement.

As a practice led by licensed mental health professionals, we adhere to the ethical codes of the American Psychological Association (APA), the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and other relevant licensing boards. This commitment extends beyond the therapy room to everything we publish and share with our community.

Our ethical commitments include:

• Accuracy and Integrity: All content on our website is created or reviewed by qualified professionals and reflects current, evidence-based mental health practices. We do not promote unproven or harmful approaches.

• Privacy and Respect: We never share client stories or clinical examples that could compromise confidentiality. All case material, if referenced, is fictionalized or presented with explicit permission.

• Equity and Inclusion: We aim to use inclusive, affirming language and serve individuals and families of all backgrounds with respect and cultural sensitivity.

• Transparency: We disclose our credentials, affiliations, and potential conflicts of interest. We do not accept advertising or paid promotion in our content.

• Responsibility to the Public: We view our website as an extension of our public mission to educate, support, and reduce stigma around mental health. We take seriously our role in shaping public understanding and commit to avoiding fear-based, judgmental, or sensational content.

If you believe we have fallen short of these standards, we invite you to contact us. We welcome accountability and view feedback as an opportunity for continued growth and integrity.
