My T told me immediately that she does not see offenders or perpetrators of violent, sexual or abuse crimes. She doesn't treat currently using drug addicts or drinking alcoholics either (not trained to do so).
Her husband does work with some addicts, but does not treat violent, sexual or abuse perpetrators either. Since they share a small house for their practices they share that info about each other to all clients.
They want their private practice to be a safe place for all clients, especially when in the waiting room with strangers. It was nice to know that when I had to bring my brand new baby there and the men waiting for her hubby smiled at her or said she was cute. I knew they were being nice instead of creepy. I also was having a huge flareup of PTSD from an attempted rape and safety was paramount to me.
