Contact
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact me using the options available on this website or by email.
Social Media Policy
Life in Session Psychotherapy maintains social media accounts (e.g., Instagram, Facebook) to share general information, reflections, and updates about services. These platforms are intended for informational and educational purposes only and are not a substitute for psychotherapy.
Engaging with content on social media does not establish a therapeutic relationship.
Social media platforms are not secure or confidential spaces. For this reason, please avoid sharing personal or sensitive information in comments or direct messages (DMs). While messages may be reviewed, these channels are not monitored for clinical communication, and responses may be limited or not provided.
If you are a current or prospective client and would like to connect, please use the secure contact options available on the website, including the client portal login.
At times, support from a contracted social media professional may be used to assist with account management (e.g., content creation or profile setup). This access is limited in scope, and all client communication remains the responsibility of the therapist.

Reviews and Public Engagement
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I am unable to request or respond to public reviews or testimonials. This is in place to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
If you choose to share your experience publicly, please be mindful that you may be sharing personal information in a public space. You are welcome to speak about your experience in any way you choose, but your privacy is important to consider.

Privacy Considerations
Please be aware that interacting with or following social media accounts may be visible to others. This means that your engagement with this account could be seen by people in your network or the public, depending on your privacy settings.
Personal Social Media
I do not accept friend or follow requests from current or former clients on personal social media accounts. This helps maintain clear boundaries and protects your confidentiality.
If you have any questions about this, you are always welcome to bring them into session.
