What insurance does a counselor need?

Mental health counselors typically need professional liability (malpractice), general liability, cyber liability, and commercial property insurance.

What does professional liability cover for a counselor?

Professional liability covers claims that your counseling services caused harm, including allegations of negligent treatment, breach of confidentiality, or sexual misconduct.

Is malpractice insurance required for Oregon counselors?

Oregon licensing boards strongly recommend professional liability insurance, and many employers and insurance panels require it as a condition of participation.

Does my employer\'s insurance cover me?

Your employer\'s policy may cover you for work performed in your official capacity, but it may not cover you for private practice, moonlighting, or claims made after you leave the employer. A personal policy provides broader protection.

How much does counselor malpractice insurance cost in Oregon?

Professional liability insurance for mental health counselors typically costs $200–$1,000 per year, depending on your specialty, revenue, and claims history. Contact Gerald Ross Agency for a personalized quote.
