Social Media Statement
Social media can be a valuable way to share information, increase access to psychological knowledge, and foster community connection. At the same time, online spaces are not a substitute for therapy or professional support.
Our professional social media account(s) are solely intended for education, advocacy, and sharing general information that may be helpful to a broad audience, not as a form of therapeutic service delivery. The content we share reflects only one aspect of our professional work and should not be interpreted as personal advice, clinical guidance, or a complete representation of our views, experiences, or identity.
Professional Boundaries
To protect client confidentiality and maintain professional boundaries, our psychologists and staff do not:
Accept friend or follow requests from current clients on personal accounts.
Discuss clinical matters via social media.
Provide therapeutic advice, crisis support, or psychological services through comments, direct messages, or other social media interactions.
Engage in discussions about individual clients or therapeutic relationships in public online spaces.
If you are a current client and need to contact us regarding appointments or clinical matters, please reach out via the details on our Contact Us page.
Respectful Engagement
We welcome respectful discussion, curiosity, and differing perspectives. Learning often occurs through thoughtful dialogue and consideration of diverse viewpoints.
At the same time, we reserve the right to moderate, hide, or remove comments that are abusive, threatening, discriminatory, intentionally inflammatory, or that compromise the safety and wellbeing of others.
Online Interactions and Expectations
Social media creates opportunities for connection and community, however it is not a secure or appropriate platform for sharing private, confidential health or personal information, or for seeking individual clinical support. We encourage all individuals engaging with our content to direct any questions or concerns via the details on our Contact Us page.
Choosing not to respond to comments, messages, requests, or invitations to engage should not be interpreted as agreement, disagreement, indifference, or personal rejection. Our time, energy, professional and legal responsibilities, and personal wellbeing require us to be selective about how and when we engage online.
Privacy and Confidentiality
If you choose to follow, comment on, like, or share content from our professional accounts, please be aware that these interactions may be visible to others and could remain publicly accessible. For this reason, we encourage clients and former clients to carefully consider their privacy before engaging publicly with our content.
Protecting confidentiality is a core professional responsibility, and these boundaries help support a safe and ethical therapeutic relationship.
Commitment to Ethical Practice
As a psychology practice employing registered psychologists, our online presence is guided by professional ethics, respect, integrity, and care for the wellbeing of individuals and communities. We remain committed to ongoing learning, reflective practice, and engaging in ways that are consistent with both professional standards and personal values.
Thank you for helping to maintain a respectful and supportive online environment.
