The Healing Effect, LLC – Social Media Guidelines for Mental Health Providers in Arizona

Effective Date: October 14, 2025

Welcome to the official social media platforms of The Healing Effect, LLC, a behavioral health group practice located in Arizona. This policy applies to all content shared on or through our public channels, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and any other online platforms affiliated with our practice.

By accessing, following, or engaging with our social media content, you agree to the following terms and understand the limitations of communication through these platforms.

All content shared on our social media accounts is intended for general informational and educational purposes. Posts, videos, quotes, podcasts, interviews, and commentary are not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, medical care, legal advice, or therapy.

We aim to promote awareness and reduce stigma around mental health care. If you are seeking help for personal mental health concerns, we encourage you to speak directly with a licensed professional.

Engaging with our content by liking, commenting, sharing, messaging, emailing, or following our accounts does not create a therapeutic relationship. We do not offer clinical care, therapeutic guidance, or individualized advice through social media, email, or direct message.

Therapists at The Healing Effect do not accept friend requests or follow clients on personal or professional accounts, in accordance with ethical boundaries required by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE).

If you are interested in beginning therapy with one of our providers, please visit our Contact Page or call our office at 602-698-5777 to get started.

The Healing Effect, LLC makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or relevance of any content posted on our platforms. All content is provided as-is and is not tailored to any individual’s clinical needs.

Viewing or relying on social media content is voluntary and done at your own risk.

Social media is not a confidential or secure method of communication. Do not share personal health information, appointment details, or therapy-related concerns in comments or messages.

For private communication, please use:

• Your secure client portal
• Our office phone at 602-698-5777
• Our official email listed on our Contact Page
   

Any personal disclosures made on social media may be visible to the public and are not protected under HIPAA.

Social media platforms are not monitored continuously and are not appropriate for emergency communication.

If you are in crisis or need immediate help:

We do not provide crisis services through social media or online platforms.

We may update this Social Media Policy at any time. Changes will be reflected by an updated Effective Date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
