Section D: Relationships With Other Professionals D.1. Relationships With Employers and Employees

D.2. Consultation (See B.6.) a. Consultation as an Option. Counselors may choose to consult with

any other professionally competent persons about their clients. In choosing consultants, counselors avoid placing the consultant in a conflict of interest situation that would preclude the consultant being a proper party to the counselor’s efforts to help the client. Should counselors be engaged in a work setting that compromises this consultation standard, they consult with other professionals whenever possible to consider justifiable alternatives.
