The importance of Professional Liability insurance for counselors and therapists

You’ve found your calling in helping others—it’s truly a selfless profession. From family therapists to school counselors to health and wellness coaches to life coaches and every specialty in between, counseling and administering therapy has great rewards. Unfortunately, it also holds great liabilities.

Despite all your best intentions and how objective you are in your counseling, you must be prepared to face the unexpected. Claims are filed against counselors and therapists every day, for all sorts of reasons.

Lockton Affinity Health’s Professional Liability insurance is tailored exclusively for counselors and therapists. It covers defense costs and judgments or settlements that result from a claim against you, plus pays you for lost wages while defending a claim.
