“Risky Practice: Potentially Unethical, Illegal, or Risky Practices” by Dr. Terry Casey
Professional practice has become increasingly complex, making it easy to unknowingly engage in risky ethical and legal practices. This training will address several new Tennessee laws regarding duty-to-warn, consent, and access to minors’ records, as well as several other risky behaviors that can result in unanticipated problems.

Terry Casey, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist, HSP (TN #1975) conducts webinars/seminars on a variety of topics (e.g., teletherapy/interjurisdictional practice/interstate compacts, advanced ethics & legal issues; ethics & legal issues with minors, ethical & legal issues in private practice)* for counseling and mental health professionals across the country. For the past 15 years, he has taught Ethical, Legal, and Professional Issues in Lipscomb University’s CACREP-accredited M.S. program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For 17 years he served as the Clinical Director for a large counseling and psychological services organization based in Nashville. He also served for several years as the Chair of the Ethics Committee Chair for a state-level professional organization. Dr. Casey operates a private practice in Franklin, Tennessee through which he provides consultation services to private practices and counseling/mental health-related organizations
