Washington counselor David Hale had sex with a female client

March 14, 2013

On February 15, 2013, the Washington Department of Health (DoH) issued an Ex Parte Order, summarily suspending the credential of counselor Scott David Hale.

DoH's documents state that Hale counseled a female client from February 2010 until September 2012 for the effects of childhood sexual abuse and that he reported to his employer having had sexual intercourse with the client on three occasions while he was counseling her.
