SOCIAL MEDIA AND TELECOMMUNICATION
Last Updated: September 2025
Maintaining your confidentiality and protecting the therapeutic relationship are priorities in this practice. For that reason, social media and other online communication are handled carefully.
1. Professional Accounts
I maintain professional social media accounts (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) to share resources, updates, and events. You are welcome to follow these pages for professional content.
Important: Please be mindful that liking, commenting, tagging, or otherwise interacting with my professional posts may compromise your confidentiality, as others could see this engagement. You are welcome to follow quietly if you prefer.
2. Personal Accounts
Personal social media accounts are private and not for client interaction.
I will not follow or accept friend/follow requests from current or former clients on any social networking sites (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.).
Adding clients as friends or contacts could compromise your confidentiality, privacy, and blur the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship.
3. Client–Therapist Interaction
Therapeutic communication will not take place over social media. Please use professional channels (phone, email, secure telehealth platform) for scheduling, clinical questions, or sharing information.
4. Confidentiality
Social media platforms are not secure. For your protection, therapy details or personal matters should never be discussed on these platforms.
5. Accidental Interactions
If an accidental interaction occurs online (such as liking a post or seeing each other on a platform), please bring it up in session so we can discuss and maintain clear boundaries.
6. Policy Updates
This policy may be updated as social media platforms evolve or as professional standards change.
