I had a male client who had married his female therapist. They moved to our State from another State and asked me to check disciplinary records from our State Board to see if I thought she could get a license in this State after losing her license in their home State. My research showed that, in our State anyway, a T can have sex with a client, even multiple clients, and just get a short suspension (if they have multiple offenses) followed by a probationary period. If it has happened only once, they just get the probationary status for a time. So basically, some public humiliation and a slap on the wrist as long as they stop seeing the client with whom they had sex. HOWEVER, if a T actually falls in love with a client and wants to continue the relation, THEN the T loses his or her license. In our State anyway, the Board punishes a committed relationship that the T and the client both want to continue more severely than a T having casual sex with multiple clients.
