In a shocking revelation, a personal account from St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) exposes a deeply troubling breach of professional ethics within the mental health sector. The author, whose identity remains protected, shares a harrowing experience involving a therapist who not only failed to uphold ethical standards but actively manipulated and betrayed her clients. This story underscores the urgent need for accountability and reform in mental health practices, particularly in regions where stigma and lack of oversight prevail.

Her casual dismissal of the betrayal, captured in voice notes, further highlights her disregard for ethical boundaries. The therapist exploited her position of power, prioritizing her personal desires over the well-being of her clients. This case raises alarming questions about the safety of vulnerable individuals seeking mental health support. The author has reported the incident to relevant authorities and urges others to remain vigilant against professionals who misuse their roles. This story is not just a personal account but a call to action for systemic change in mental health care.
