Social Media Privacy Policy
Friending
To respect your privacy and confidentiality, I do not accept friend requests on my 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 me between sessions, please use email or phone.
I use Instagram to share psychoeducation material with individuals who choose to follow my professional page. It is not a requirement that clients follow my professional Instagram page. The information I post is not a substitute for in-person therapy.
Interacting
Please do not use messaging on social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn to contact me. These sites are not secure and I cannot guarantee that messages will be read in a timely fashion. It is best not to engage with me 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 me is by email or phone.
Email and Text
I prefer using email and text messaging only to arrange or modify appointments. Please do not email or text me information related to your therapy sessions, as email is not completely secure or confidential.
Thank you for taking the time to review the Social Media Policy of Cragun Counseling. If you have any questions or concerns about any of the procedures or policies, please reach out to me so we can discuss them further.
