Mr. Emad Hussain

The College of Psychologists of Ontario alleged that the member committed professional misconduct by engaging in a personal, romantic, and sexual relationship with a client who was receiving neurofeedback services at her clinic.

Although the services were administered by a technician, they were billed as psychological services under the member's supervision.

The member admitted to the allegations of practicing in a conflict of interest, unprofessional conduct, and failing to maintain professional standards.

The Discipline Committee accepted the joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand and a 12-month suspension, with 5 months suspended upon successful completion of a professional ethics course.
