Settlement Reached As Trial Nears In Psychologist Romance Case

From WCSH 6 in Vermont

New Hampshire woman has settled a lawsuit she filed accusing her psychologist of initiating a romantic relationship.

The details of the settlement between therapist Monica Descamps of Norwich, Vermont, and Jill Davis of New Hampshire were not released.

Jury selection in federal court in Burlington had been scheduled to begin Tuesday.

Davis sued her former therapist in May 2006.

In her lawsuit, Davis said she sought counseling with Descamps in February 2003, which lasted until February 2004. At that point the psychologist ended counseling and initiated a romantic relationship with Davis, which lasted nine months.

In court papers, Descamps acknowledged the improper conduct
