Social worker Brenda Venneri suspended for sex with client

January 8, 2014

On October 21, 2013, the Wisconsin Marriage & Family Therapy, Professional Counseling and Social Work Examining Board suspended the license of professional counselor Rebecca Venneri. The Board’s document states that Venneri was disciplined by the licensing authority of Pennsylvania, which suspended her alcohol and drug counseling license for one year after finding that, among other things, she’d engaged in an exploitative relationship with client, including sexual contact with the client.
