Professional Boundaries Clause Samples

The Professional Boundaries clause defines the expected limits and appropriate conduct between parties in a professional relationship. It typically outlines behaviors that are considered acceptable or unacceptable, such as restrictions on personal relationships, confidentiality requirements, or the avoidance of conflicts of interest. By clearly establishing these boundaries, the clause helps prevent misunderstandings, maintains professionalism, and protects both parties from potential ethical or legal issues.

Professional Boundaries. I understand that psychotherapy is a professional relationship. Though my provider cares deeply about my life, the relationship is different from a friendship. This means I will not be friends with my provider on social media or see my provider outside of sessions simply because the professional boundaries for mental health providers do not allow for it. In addition, I understand ethical boundaries prevent my provider from having both concurrent personal and professional relationships with me and/or my family members or from having a personal relationship with me following the termination of our work together in psychotherapy.

Professional Boundaries. By my own ethics, professional ethics, and state law, as a licensed clinical mental health counselor I am obligated to establish and maintain an appropriate professional relationship with current and former clients, and clients’ family members. Because of the unique nature of the counseling relationship and the need to protect clients from harm or exploitation, I must maintain clinical boundaries which do not compromise the counseling role. For example, I will not socialize with, be a friend to, or become sexually involved with a client or client’s family member. However, since I practice in a small community, it is not always possible to avoid dual relationships. If this happens, we will discuss the potential benefits and difficulties involved, including the possible impact on your therapy. It will be your responsibility to advise me if the dual relationship becomes uncomfortable to you in any way. I will do my best to honor your feedback and we can decide together how to proceed if it is interfering with your therapy or your welfare. In such a situation, you can be assured that I will never acknowledge that you are a client unless I have your written permission.
