CPH & Associates – American Mental Health Counselors Association

What is professional liability and why is it important for an LMHC?

Simply navigating the application can be overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the fundamentals, making many providers feel the need to use complex legal language. Mental health counselors frequently express disappointment in the insufficient focus dedicated to malpractice insurance during their training. This level of expertise is only demanded by a handful of professions. Becoming an LMHC requires a significant amount of education.

To ensure that you have fast and comprehensive insurance coverage, it is important to obtain clear information about where and how to obtain it. While it may seem complicated, it is crucial to understand that this insurance protects your assets and livelihood against lawsuits and complaints. At the end of the day, it provides liability coverage for the professional services of mental health counselors.

Three methods CPH & Associates can provide assistance:

  • Contact us if you have any inquiries regarding insurance coverage or the application process. Speak directly to a certified insurance agent without the hassle of automated phone systems.
  • You can electronically apply for printing and online publication of your documents. We have set up a website based on LMHCs’ concerns and years of service.
  • Once you possess a policy, you will not remain uninformed. Throughout the year, there may arise potential claim or lawsuit scenarios, for which we provide a two-hour consultation service on avoiding liability through our helpline.
