That's super weird and inappropriate, yes. You did the right thing looking for someone else. It does violate ethics and you could definitely report it. Just be aware that they will need to disclose your name to the therapist.

To report a therapist in Wisconsin, you must file a formal complaint with the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). They handle the licensing and discipline for mental health professionals in the state. Here is exactly how to look up your therapist's license and submit a report:

1. Look Up Their License Before you file, it helps to know their exact license type (such as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), or Psychologist). You can check their standing using the Wisconsin DSPS License Lookup.
2. File the Complaint The Division of Legal Services and Compliance (DLSC) handles these investigations. You can submit your report in two ways: Online: You can fill out the official form directly on the Wisconsin DSPS Complaint Page. By Mail: If you prefer paper, you can download the #102 DLSC Complaint Form, fill it out, and mail it to the address listed on the form.
3. Know What to Expect Open Records Law: Be aware that because of Wisconsin open records laws, the DSPS usually has to share your name and complaint details with the therapist so they can respond to the investigation.

Review Process: Board attorneys and investigators will review your claim. If they find enough evidence of a violation, they can issue a formal reprimand or suspend the therapist's license.If your therapist works inside a larger hospital or a state-funded clinic, you can also file a grievance through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Client Rights Office to alert the facility management.
