This training examines the ethical and clinical challenges that arise when counselors’ personal beliefs conflict with the needs, identities, or values of diverse clients. Participants will explore how unexamined bias and value imposition can impact the therapeutic relationship, decision-making, and overall standard of care. The session will review relevant ethical principles and guidelines, including those outlined by the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics, and apply them to real-world clinical scenarios. Attendees will learn a practical framework for managing value conflicts, reducing ethical risk, and maintaining client-centered, culturally responsive care. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify potential areas of ethical vulnerability in their practice and implement strategies to address them effectively.
