Clinicians are consistently taught to avoid dual relationships in the counseling and supervision relationship. But is this truly avoidable when so many of us choose to serve our own communities? What happens when you live in a rural area and the only supervisor in your area also attends your church? What happens when you are in recovery and your clients are as well? How do you handle when you serve a marginalized group and you are also a member of the same marginalized group? This course is specifically designed for clinicians who have chosen to work with clients with whom they have shared identities. Through the use of case examples and critical thinking we will identify strategies for recognizing and managing dual relationships using the ACA and AASECT Codes of Ethics.

Nick’s career has spanned 25 years in community behavioral health, administrative oversight, and private practice. He opened Modern Path, LLC in 2017 with the goal of creating a space in Atlanta where those who are marginalized due to their gender, sexuality, and how they build relationships would be able to access therapy in a way that minimized the power in the room, fostering trust and vulnerability. Since that time Modern Path has become the “go to” practice in Atlanta for the intersections of gender and sexuality, queerness in all of its forms, and neurodivergence. No longer providing direct care, Nick’s focus is Modern Path, supervision, serving as the AASECT Ethics Advisory Committee Chairperson, and providing consultation and training nationwide. Nick is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, recipient of the 2021 AASECT DEI Award and founder of the AASECT Gender Diverse SIG. Nick’s experiences are informed by his intersecting identities of being a middle aged, trans masculine, genderqueer, thrice gifted, consensually non monogamous, birth parent and an all around magical guy residing in east coast metro areas his entire life.
