Social Media Policy

Growth Era Counseling & Wellness, LLC uses social media to share news, information, and helpful or light-hearted insights into the world of therapy and wellness. Please note that any information posted to my social networking sites is for entertainment purposes only, is not a substitute for medical advice, and does not constitute a patient-provider relationship. Please consult your medical provider or mental health provider regarding advice or support for your mental health and well-being. If you are in crisis, please call your local 24-hour hotline or 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. I will not respond to direct messages containing content deemed PHI (personal health information) from current, former, or prospective clients. I would never want to jeopardize anyone’s safety.

​

My first responsibility is to you and to maintain your confidentiality. If you choose to “like” or “comment” on one of Growth Era Counseling & Wellness, LLC’s public social pages, please know that I will not respond out of respect for your privacy. Remember that the internet is a public forum and commenting or interacting with any of my public pages can put your confidentiality at risk.

​

Maintaining the Therapeutic Relationship

​

I maintain strict boundaries on social networking sites to maintain the integrity of the therapeutic relationship. As such, I do not accept “friend” requests from current or former clients. If you choose to follow one of my pages, I will not follow you back. I will work to maintain the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship, holding your wellness and privacy as a top priority.

Business Review Sites

​

You may find Growth Era Counseling & Wellness, LLC on sites such as Yelp, Facebook, Google or other places that host review platforms for businesses. Many of these sites utilize technology to automatically add websites without the owner’s knowledge. If a site appears in your search or feed, please know that this is not a request for a testimonial, rating, or endorsement from you. I adhere to The American Counseling Association’s Ethics Code, which strictly prohibits clinicians from requesting testimonials for marketing purposes.
