DISCLAIMER AND SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
At Anchors Wellness, LLC, we are committed to providing ethical, professional, and confidential mental health services. To ensure clarity and transparency in our interactions with clients and the public, we have established the following disclaimer and social media policy:
DISCLAIMER:
Anchors Wellness offers a range of therapeutic interventions and interactions that may extend beyond traditional counseling boundaries, as approved by the Department of Professional Licensing (DOPL). We prioritize client autonomy and informed consent, and we take reasonable precautions to prevent emotional, physical, or social harm to individuals. In the event of any unforeseen harm, we will promptly address and document our efforts to remedy the situation.
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY DISCLAIMERS:
Our use of social media is primarily for marketing, education, advocacy, and thought leadership in the field of mental health. We recognize the importance of maintaining professional boundaries and ensuring that our online presence does not compromise the therapeutic relationship.
Therapeutic Relationship: Social media engagement with Anchors Wellness does not constitute psychotherapy or a replacement for a therapeutic relationship. Clients should not seek professional advice or therapy through social media platforms.
Confidentiality: Engaging with Anchors Wellness on social media may compromise client privacy and confidentiality. Past and current clients are advised to avoid interacting with our social media content to protect their privacy.
Boundaries: To uphold ethical standards, Anchors Wellness professionals do not follow or friend past or current clients on personal social media accounts. We maintain appropriate professional boundaries and encourage clients to share relevant information directly during therapy sessions.
Direct Messaging: Comments and direct messages on social media platforms are not confidential or appropriate for discussing therapeutic concerns. Clients are encouraged to schedule official therapy sessions to address any treatment-related questions or issues.
Emergency Support: For urgent mental health concerns, clients should seek immediate assistance from local hotlines, emergency services, or healthcare providers. Social media is not a suitable platform for addressing crisis situations.
We encourage clients to consult their physicians or mental health providers for personalized advice and support. Anchors Wellness is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and client care in all our interactions, both online and offline.
