Omaha/SW IA area therapist surrenders license over investigation into unethical conduct
February 17th, 2015 by Ric Hanson
An area mental health counselor has agreed to surrender her license to settle a case with the Iowa Board of Behavioral Science. The Omaha World-Herald says according to a settlement agreement released Thursday, Amy Jo Murphy of Omaha, owner of AJ Counseling Services, admitted to engaging in sexual activities with a client, engaging in unethical conduct and engaging in practice harmful or detrimental to the public. She also admitted failing to disclose an investigation into her conduct by the State of Nebraska, but said that was accidental.
Under the terms of the agreement, Murphy was to give up her license immediately. She can request reinstatement after one year after completing a comprehensive evaluation and establishing that the basis for a license revocation no longer exists and it is in the public interest for her license to be reinstated.
AJ Counseling Services has locations in Omaha, Shenandoah, Red Oak and Corning, and employs several other therapists.
