WS Ethics

At Wellness Solutions, ethics form the foundation of our counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy services. We believe that ethical practice is not just a standard to meet but a promise to our clients and our community. Our approach is guided by the fundamental ethical principles of counseling. Ethical practice is more than a set of rules at Wellness Solutions — it’s a reflection of our commitment to care, compassion, and accountability.

​

Core Ethical Principles

​

1. Autonomy: We respect each client's right to self-determination. Every client is seen as the expert of their own life, and we honor their capacity to make informed decisions about their care.

2. Beneficence: Our primary goal is to promote well-being and facilitate personal growth. Every decision we make is intended to benefit the mental, emotional, and psychological health of our clients.

3. Nonmaleficence: We commit to "do no harm" in all our interactions and interventions. Our clinicians are trained to ensure that care plans, techniques, and strategies prioritize client safety and emotional well-being.

4. Justice: We provide fair, equitable treatment for all clients. Wellness Solutions is dedicated to creating an inclusive space where every person feels valued, regardless of their background, identity, or life experience.

5. Fidelity: Trust is at the core of our practice. We maintain confidentiality, honor commitments, and prioritize the trust established in the counselor-client relationship.

6. Veracity: We strive to be truthful, transparent, and honest with our clients. From treatment plans to billing, our communication is clear, open, and ethically sound.

7. Confidentiality: This is an ethical understanding between the counselor and the client that what the client says will be protected without the client's permission.

8. Competence: Counselors should practice within their competence, based on their education, training, and professional experience. They should also continually update their skills
