Professional Roles & Boundaries in Practice

NBCC Continuing Education

Lovewell Initiatives, LLC has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7776. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. Lovewell Initiatives, LLC is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.

This training is eligible for 3 NBCC continuing education hours. Participants must attend the full session and complete the required evaluation to receive a certificate of completion. It is the responsibility of the attendee to determine whether their licensing board accepts NBCC continuing education hours.

AASECT Continuing Education

This program meets the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and is approved for 3 CE credits. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification. Completion of this program does not ensure or guarantee AASECT certification. For further information please contact [email protected].

It is the responsibility of the attendee to determine if their state licensing board will accept AASECT CE credits.

Washington Roles and Boundaries Requirement

Washington licensed marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, and social workers must complete at least two hours of continuing education specifically focused on professional roles and boundaries each renewal cycle, taken separately from the professional ethics and law hours (WAC 246-809-630). This training provides three hours and satisfies that requirement in full.

The content is anchored in RCW 18.130.180, which addresses unprofessional conduct and the failure to maintain professional boundaries, and credit hours are measured against the standard in WAC 246-12-220.

If You Already Took Part 1

Both trainings carry the roles and boundaries designation. If Part 1 already cleared your requirement for this cycle, these three hours count toward your general renewal total, and you take this one for the depth rather than the requirement.

Fiona O’Farrell, PhD, LMFT, CST-S

Fiona (they/she) is a systemic therapist, clinical sexologist, supervisor, and educator with more than fifteen years in systemic therapy, sex therapy, and anti-oppressive clinical practice.

Fiona has spent much of the last decade inside graduate education, most recently as Department Chair of the Marriage and Family Therapy master’s program at Pacific Lutheran University, where they taught and directed the training of emerging systemic therapists. That work sits alongside a Seattle private practice and a long record of supervising clinicians toward licensure and toward sex therapy certification.

Their doctorate in clinical sexology, earned in 2023, examined the Wheel of Consent as a framework for training sexuality therapists, and consent has been the throughline of their teaching ever since. Fiona is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, an AASECT Approved Sex Therapy Supervisor, an AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and a Washington State Approved Supervisor. They are also a trained facilitator in the Wheel of Consent and a Developmental Model trainer.

Fiona teaches consent as something that gets built and rebuilt across a relationship rather than signed once at intake, and their work is dedicated to helping clinicians hold power with clarity, notice their own edges, and stay in relationship when things get complicated.

Fiona’s March 2026 training for Lovewell drew 189 registrations, and the two highest-rated items on the entire evaluation were both about their teaching.
