Social Media Policy

Friending To respect your privacy and confidentiality, we do not accept friend requests on personal social media accounts from current or former clients. The practice of adding clients as friends or contacts on these sites can compromise your confidentiality and may impact the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship. If you need to contact us between sessions, please use email or phone.

Interacting Please do not use messaging on social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn to contact us. These sites are not secure and we cannot guarantee that messages will be read in a timely fashion. Do not engage with us in the comments of posts, as doing so can compromise your privacy. If you do engage in an exchange over social media it will need to be documented and archived in your client records. The best way to interact with us is by email or phone. We do not "google" my clients or look up information on them for any reason. If we do come across your information online, we will avoid reading content.

Email We prefer using email to arrange or modify appointments only. Please do not email us information related to your therapy sessions, as email is not completely secure or confidential.

Text We use text messages to communicate with clients regarding scheduling updates. These are a secured lines.

Website We have a professional website that is accessible to clients. It displays information about the practice, including fees, services, and information about who we are as therapists and what areas of therapy we specialize in. You are welcome to access and review the information included on the website. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via email or phone. You can also use the contact form on the website.

Location-Based Services If you use location-based services on your mobile phone, you may wish to turn these settings off. While Middle State Therapy Collective is not listed as a check-in location on Google, Facebook, Foursquare, or other sites, if you have GPS tracking enabled on your device, others may conclude you are a therapy client based on your shared location.
