I live in a small community and my practice has a major focus on autism. I was recently contacted by someone in the community that I know about therapy services partly about her adult son with autism. She has tried to find services in the past, but couldn’t find anyone with the specific knowledge on autism.
This person was my mortgage lender 20 years ago. I met with her twice to sign paperwork, which I barely remember. We were at a coffee together in the community 8 years ago and sat next to each other but didn’t really talk much.
We’re not friends. Our community is small. When she contacted me, I brought up the fact that we had known each other in this other capacity. She said “it was professional then and it’s professional now.”
Would I be violating my ethics to agree to meet with her?
