[MS] Is my employer violating ethics or law by falsely advertising my services?

I am a board certified music therapist in Mississippi (MT-BC) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) working for a telehealth IOP. The company has removed the words “therapist” and “therapy” from our job description and is asking me to sign consent to a job description starkly different than my initial one, as group therapy is no longer in it. They’ve restructured as a lower level of care providing “psychoeducational” only. My title will no longer say therapist and clients will be receiving music therapy services in group, NOT psychoeducational. We will internally operate as an IOP, not a lower level of care.
