[quote=Anonymous]Wooooooooow. Wow Jen. Wow Carissa.

So I researched this Carissa (I have no life I know), who on the MeCourse site is listed as Carissa Woodwyk.

Carissa at least at one point has self-identified as a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist (https://www.amazon.com/Before-You-Were-Mine-Discovering/dp/031033103X).

I did not find any indication of current licenses, not even on her personal website (https://carissawoodwyk.wordpress.com/).

However, since Jen has promoted Carissa's services as a therapist who "has all the fancy letters at the end of her name" both over the past couple years and today, I will assume that Carissa is currently licensed as a counselor and marriage and family therapist.

Now based on the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Code of Ethics, a therapist should avoid multiple relationships. Anyone in the mental health field with a code of ethics will tell you those multiple relationships are almost always unethical (one exception is Indigenous counsellors working in Indigenous communities).
https://www.aamft.org/Legal_Ethics/Code_of_Ethics.aspx

Having a business relationship with Jen clearly constitutes as a multiple relationship.

Now you may argue that Clarissa took and documented all of "the appropriate precautions" but I strongly believes that there is no justifiable reason for them to be in a multiple relationship. Publicity and money is NOT justifiable.

Many people have been abused and traumatized by multiple relationships with therapists and they should NOT be normalized nor promoted in this way.

From hawking BetterHelp (an openly trash service) to hawking an unethical therapist to hawking unrealistic recovery times, Jen is a terrible example of a mental health ally.

Most importantly though, SHAME ON YOU CARISSA. [/quote]
