I am deeply disappointed in yesterday’s Supreme Court decision. Conversion therapy is a harmful practice with with evidence of leading to worse mental health outcomes including increased risk of su***de.
If you do come across a provider offering conversion therapy, while it may no longer be illegal, I encourage you to report them to their state licensing board; all major medical/mental health associations condemn conversion therapy as it is not consistent with the standard of care or the ethical obligation to do no harm. This issue is not about free speech - it is about a clinician’s professional conduct and obligation to do no harm.
As a therapist, I will continue to offer evidence-based, affirmative therapy for my clients.
