A mental health counselor from Cedar Falls has had her license suspended for six months by the Iowa Board of Behavioral Health Professionals, according to the Iowa Capital Dispatch. Kayla Reisinger failed to comply with the current Code of Ethics of the American Counseling Association. The board found she contacted a minor client after the client’s legal custodian terminated counseling services. Reisinger went to the client’s school concerts, introduced her children to the client, and made plans for the client to move into her home. Reisinger was also reprimanded for fostering another client’s cat and communicated with the client via Snapchat. She was also found to have provided a therapy that was unnecessary to a client, told colleagues she had facilitated a dating relationship between two other clients, and finally Reisinger told her own personal therapist that she was having a sexual relationship with the caregiver of a minor who was one of her clients. After her six month license suspension her license will be placed on probation for 3 years.
