You are an LCSW who regularly sees other therapists as clients, and are in an administrative role in a large group practice. You were Lindsey's therapist briefly, approximately 5 years ago, for grief counseling. Lindsey, an Asian American woman who has been an LCSW for several years, has applied for an open position at this same agency where she was also a former a client. Lindsey sought out grief therapy due to the sudden and unexpected death of her husband. Lindsey contacted you and had a discussion about how dual relationships could be handled if she received the job. Lindsey is insightful and believed that both parties could manage the relationship without any risk of harm. Lindsey is very qualified and has expressed a desire to work in town (smaller town) and does not want to have to commute/travel/ and wants to be able to see clients in person once vaccinated. She has strong ties to the community and wants to serve underprivileged populations in the community; however, job options are limited. The agency that she is currently working with has announced to employees that they will be dissolving the local office due to COVID and will not be reopening.
You would not be Lindsay's immediate supervisor in the open position. You would also not participate in the interview process and would work to limit any other dual relationships. The issue has been raised that you don't want to harm by denying Lindsey a good job opportunity, and believe that Lindsey would be a great asset to the agency as she is bright, motivated and highly trained. You are unsure how to balance the Code of Ethics and ethical hiring practices as Lindsey is likely to be hired due to her skill level. It seems wrong to not hire someone because she sought out help during a difficult period; yet, there are ethical concerns as she was a previous client.
