                                                                          Social Media Policy

This document outlines my office policies related to use of Social Media. Please read it to understand how I conduct myself on the Internet as a mental health professional and how you can expect me to respond to various interactions that may occur between us on the Internet. If you have any questions about anything within this document, I encourage you to bring them up when we meet. As new technology develops and the Internet changes, there may be times when I need to update this policy. If I do so, I will notify you in writing of any policy changes, offer a printed copy of the updated policy.


­MAILS, CELL PHONES, COMPUTERS AND FAXES ARE NOT PRIVATE:  No form of client communication is 100 percent guaranteed to be private. Conversations can be overheard, e-mails can be sent to the wrong recipients and phone conversations can be listened to by others.  But in today’s age of e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and other social media, psychotherapists have to be more aware than ever of the ethical pitfalls they can fall into by using these types of communication. 

Although they add convenience and expedite communication, it is very important to be aware that computers and e-mail and cell phone communication can be accessed relatively easily by unauthorized people and hence can compromise the privacy and confidentiality of such communication. E-mails, in particular, are vulnerable to such unauthorized access due to the fact that servers have unlimited and direct access to all e-mails that go through them. Although I am exploring various encryption software programs to protect your privacy, my emails and data on my computers may not be encrypted, it is always a possibility that faxes can be sent erroneously to the wrong address, and computers, including laptops, may be stolen. My computers are equipped with a firewall, virus protection and passwords, and I also password-protect and back up all confidential information from my computers (stored off-site) on a regular basis.   

If you need to cancel or change an appointment time; a telephone call or SMS (text) may get the message to me in a timely manner. Please notify me if you decide to avoid or limit, in any way, the use of emails, cell phones SMS (text), faxes, or storage of confidential information on computers. If you communicate confidential or private information via SMS (text) or e-mail, I will assume that you have made an informed decision, will view it as your agreement to take the risk that such communication may be intercepted, and I will honor your desire to communicate on such matters via email. Please do not use email or faxes for emergencies. Due to computer or network problems, e-mails may not be deliverable, and I may not check my emails or faxes daily. 

I prefer to use e-mail to arrange or modify appointments only. If you email me content related to your therapy sessions, please note that email is not completely secure or confidential. If e-mail communication outside of therapy requires more than 15 minutes to read and respond to, I may charge for my professional services rendered in 15 minute increments.  Please indicate if you intend to pay these charges, or I will save it for review during your appointment time. Please do not send forwarded messages regardless of how inspirational they may seem to my professional email address. I use this for work related issues and do not want to risk viruses spread by forwarded emails.   

 

If you choose to communicate with me by e-mail, be aware that all emails are retained in the logs of your and my Internet service providers. While it is unlikely that someone will be looking at these logs, they are, in theory, available to be read by the system administrator(s) of the Internet service provider. You should also know that any emails I receive from you and any responses that I send to you become a part of your legal record and may be revealed in cases where your records are summoned by a legal entity.   


Networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn is not secure. It could compromise your confidentiality to use Wall postings, @replies, or other means of engaging with me online if we have an already established client/therapist relationship. It may also create the possibility that these exchanges become a part of your legal medical record and will need to be documented and archived in your chart. I may not read these messages in a timely fashion. If you need to contact me between sessions, the best way to do so is by phone (678) 250-3093. Or direct email at MindBeingWell@welltherapy.healthcare is second best for quick, administrative issues such as changing appointment times. See the email section above for more information regarding e-mail interactions.   

 

FRIENDING MAY EXPOSE OUR PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP AND UNDERMINE 

YOUR PRIVACY:   This social network policy serves as your notification that being linked as friends or contacts on these sites can compromise your confidentiality and our respective privacy. As in any other public context, you have control over your own description of the nature of our acquaintance, if you choose to disclose a professional relationship. For example, if I saw you at church or school and you ignored me, I would follow your lead and do the same. If you introduce me to your friends I would agree with your description of how you know me. I will not confirm nor deny any professional relationship between myself and clients on any social network sites. I reserve the right to discontinue any social network connection without prior notification, and I encourage you to do the same. I discourage the use of social network sites for any communication about our therapeutic relationship, including scheduling issues, due to the lack of privacy protections.   

 

In addition, viewing your online activities without your consent and without our explicit arrangement towards a specific purpose could potentially have a negative influence on our working relationship. If there are things from your online life that you wish to share with me, please bring them into our sessions where we can view and explore them together, during the therapy hour. My current treatment agreement states that I keep patient information private and do not share it with others unless there is reason to believe that the patient or another individual is at risk. It is easy to forget that when we type names into a search engine or a field on a social network, we are also sharing information with others. If you have questions about this, please bring them up when we meet and we can talk more about it. 


LOCATION­ BASED SERVICES REVEAL YOUR LOCATION:  If you use location-based services on 

your mobile phone, you may wish to be aware of the privacy issues related to using these services. I do not place my practice as a check-in location on various sites such as Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt, etc. However, if you have GPS tracking enabled on your device, it is possible that others may surmise that you are a therapy client due to regular check-ins at my office on a weekly basis. Please be aware of this risk if you are intentionally “checking in” from my office or if you have a passive LBS app enabled on your phone. 


I  DO NOT USE the SEARCH ENGINES TO LEARN ABOUT YOU:

  It is NOT a regular part of my practice to search for clients on Google or Facebook or other search engines. Extremely rare exceptions may be made during times of crisis. If I have a reason to suspect that you are in danger and you have not been in touch with me via our usual means (coming to appointments, phone, or email) there might be an instance in which using a search engine (to find you, find someone close to you, or to check on your recent status updates) becomes necessary as part of ensuring your welfare. These are unusual situations and if I ever resort to such means, I will fully document it and discuss it with you when we next meet. 

 

FANNING/LIKING MY PROFESSIONAL PAGE MAY IMPLY ENDORSEMENT:  

I keep a Facebook Page for my professional practice to allow people to share my blog posts and practice updates with other Facebook users. All of the information shared on this page is available on my website. You are welcome to view my Facebook Page and read or share articles posted there, and comment on them. However, referrals from other clients are one of my best sources of business. My website and Facebook Fan page are intended to let others know who I am as a professional and to make it easy to refer those you feel would benefit from my services.  I will not confirm nor deny any professional relationship between clients on any social network site. This social media policy was constructed to inform you of the risks involved with associating on a social network. Therapy Ethics Code states marriage and family therapists do not use their professional relationships with clients to further their own interests. I will not ask you to “like” my page or endorse me on other business pages. Please note that you should be able to subscribe to the page via RSS without becoming a Fan and without creating a visible, public link to my Page. You are more than welcome to do this. 


TWEETING AND FOLLOWING PROMOTE MY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: 

I periodically publish a blog on my website and may post news about services offered in my practice, such as upcoming workshops and presentations, on Twitter. I have no expectation that you as a client will want to follow my blog or Twitter stream. However, if you use an easily recognizable name on Twitter and I happen to notice that you’ve followed me there, we may briefly discuss it and its potential impact on our working relationship. My primary concern is your privacy. If you share this concern, there are more private ways to follow me on Twitter (such as using an RSS feed or a locked Twitter list), which would eliminate your having a public link to my content. Please use your own discretion in choosing whether to follow me. 

 

I only follow other professionals on Twitter and I do not follow current or former clients on blogs or Twitter. Casual viewing of clients’ online content outside of the therapy hour can create confusion in regard to whether it’s being done as a part of your treatment. In addition, viewing your online activities without your consent or without our explicit arrangement towards a specific purpose could potentially influence our working relationship. If there are things from your online life that you wish to share with me, please bring them into our sessions where we can view and explore them together, during the therapy hour.   

 

BUSINESS REVIEW SITES ARE INEFFECTIVE PLACES TO VOICE YOUR COMPLAINTS: 

You may find my psychotherapy practice on sites such as Yelp, Healthgrades, Yahoo Local, Bing, or other places which list businesses. Some of these sites include forums in which users rate their providers and add reviews. Many of these sites comb search engines for business listings and automatically add listings regardless of whether the business has added itself to the site. If you should find my listing on any of these sites, please know that my listing is NOT a request for a testimonial, rating, or endorsement from you as my client. Of course, you have a right to express yourself on any site you wish. But due to confidentiality, I cannot respond to any review on any of these sites whether it is positive or negative. I urge you to take your own privacy as seriously as I take my commitment of confidentiality to you. You should also be aware that if you are using these sites to communicate indirectly with me about your feelings about our work, there is a good possibility that I may never see it. 

 

If we are working together, I hope that you will bring your feelings and reactions to our work directly into the therapy process. This can be an important part of therapy, even if you decide that we are not a good fit.  None of this is meant to keep you from sharing that you are in therapy with me wherever and with whomever you like.

 

If you do choose to write something on a business review site, I hope you will keep in mind that you may be sharing personally revealing information in a public forum. I urge you to create a pseudonym that is not linked to your regular email address or friend networks for your own privacy and protection. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to review my Social Media Policy. If you have questions or concerns about any of these policies and procedures or regarding our potential interactions on the Internet, do bring them to my attention so that we can discuss them.
