What should I do if I have a complaint?

I aim to uphold my profession with the utmost integrity and strive to provide quality and compassionate care to all of my clients. If you feel that I have not upheld my professional ethics, please allow me to have a conversation with you about it so I can explore how I can improve and provide better support to you and all of my clients. 

If you feel that you need to make a complaint against me, you can start with the Director of the practice I work for (Discovery Counseling Austin) at sara@discoverycounselingaustin.com or (512) 607-9360 xt 20. 

The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council investigates and prosecutes professional misconduct committed by marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, psychologists, psychological associates, social workers, and licensed specialists in school psychology. Although not every complaint against or dispute with a licensee involves professional misconduct, the Executive Council will provide you with information about how to file a complaint. Please call 1-800-821-3205 for more information.

If you’d like to file your complaint to the Licensing Board in Texas you can contact the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council: call 1-800-821-3205 to request the appropriate form or obtain more information.
