As clinicians, we all experience greater chemistry with some patients more than others.   That chemistry can be platonic, therapeutic, and or sexual.  These feelings create an energy that can manifest as playful, invigorating and or motivating to both therapist and patient.   Using that energy in constructive ways can produce beautiful therapeutic outcomes.  But when erotic transference or countertransference begins to overwhelm containment, it can lead to ruptures — both internal and external.   

I created this site not as a finished story, but as a living space for reflection. These past few years have been the most excruciating and transformative of my life. TNIS was built to offer a compassionate and confidential space for reflection, education and recovery.  As clinicians we are in the business of helping others transform traumatic events into meaning.  Beyond the legal and licensing process lies the deeper work: humility, grief, grace, and ultimately, integration. 

TNIS exists to offer compassionate, confidential space for education, recovery, and recalibration. As clinicians, we ask our clients to metabolize shame, find meaning in trauma, and seek growth. This is no different.

I want to thank the clinicians, attorneys, friends, and family who helped me walk through fire. If you’re here, you’re likely walking too.  I hope this site will help you (as clinicians and medical professionals)  navigate your erotic feelings, the legal system, the Licensing Board and the unconscious relics in your history that might make you vulnerable to bad decisions. 

 Our mission is to provide the resources, guidance and community needed to navigate the consequences of ethical violations, rebuild professional integrity and to prevent future transgressions.   Through continuous learning, peer support and expert advice, TNIS aims to foster accountability while advocating for the well-being of all involved.
