Ethical and Advocacy Considerations in Feminist Therapy

Course overview

What does it mean to be an ethical therapist in a world that demands both neutrality and action? This workshop explores the tension between clinical ethics and social justice advocacy, grounded in feminist therapy values. Participants will examine how to integrate advocacy in both subtle and direct ways, within and beyond the therapy room, while maintaining ethical clarity and client-centered care. Through real case examples, reflection exercises, and discussion, clinicians will walk away with deeper insight into how to stay grounded in their values, support their clients' empowerment, and advocate for social change without overstepping professional boundaries.
