⚖️ Can You Sue Your Therapist for a Sexual Relationship? Absolutely.
If you’re searching “can I sue my therapist for having sex with me?”—you’re not alone. Over the years, I’ve received countless calls asking this exact question. The answer is clear: Yes, you can. And in many cases, you should.
🧠 Why Therapist Sexual Relationships Are Legally Actionable
Most people seek therapy during emotionally fragile moments—grief, depression, anxiety, trauma. You’re not just hiring a professional; you’re placing your trust in someone who’s supposed to help you heal.
When a therapist initiates a sexual relationship, it’s not just unethical—it’s exploitative.
This isn’t about “consent.” It’s about power imbalance. Therapists are trained to recognize vulnerability. When they cross the line, they’re weaponizing that vulnerability for personal gain. The emotional fallout can be devastating—especially for clients already struggling with suicidal thoughts or severe depression.
I’ve handled cases so egregious they defy belief. One client, already suicidal, was pushed to the brink of a second attempt after her therapist initiated a sexual relationship. That’s not therapy. That’s abuse.
📋 What You Can Do If You’ve Been Exploited
If you’ve been involved in a sexual relationship with your therapist—or even faced unwanted sexual advances—you may have a strong legal case. These cases often fall under:
• Professional malpractice • Negligent infliction of emotional distress • Sexual battery or assault • Violation of ethical and licensing standards
And if the therapist works for a clinic or medical group, there may be institutional liability as well.
💼 I Take These Cases Personally—and on Contingency
I’ve built my practice around real advocacy, not billboards. If you’ve been exploited by a therapist or doctor, I want to hear your story.
I take these cases on a contingency fee basis, which means: You pay nothing unless we win.
You’ve already been through enough. Let’s make sure the system doesn’t fail you twice.
