Opening a private practice requires more than business savvy—it requires a strong ethical foundation. As clinicians transition from counselor to entrepreneur, new responsibilities emerge that can create ethical gray areas if not thoughtfully addressed.

This training explores key components of the ACA Code of Ethics as they apply to counseling-related business practices. You’ll learn how to differentiate between an appropriate entrepreneurial mindset and decisions that may unintentionally cross ethical boundaries—allowing you to build a sustainable practice while staying aligned with professional values.

Perfect for clinicians in the early stages of private practice—or those reassessing their business approach—this course delivers focused, practical guidance you can apply immediately.
