There are situations in which meeting in person for psychotherapy and counselling services is not possible for the client. For some, distance makes it impossible. Some prefer discussing their concerns difficult to do in a face-to-face setting, while for others, balancing work and family priorities make it challenging.
My practice is equipped with email and Zoom chat technology which complies with Personal Information Protection & Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Personal Health Information & Protection Act (PHIPA - Ontario legislation) and Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA). This makes it possible to pursue psychotherapy and counselling services remotely and safely, using simple and familiar features.
I use Zoom for my sessions. Previously, there have been some privacy concerns with Zoom. However, these situations arose when links to meetings were shared publicly. When I send you a link, you are the only person I have sent it to.
Do not share your Zoom link to our appointment with anyone else.
Unless you and I have already agreed that recording is necessary for therapeutic purposes, our sessions will not be recorded. If recording our sessions or materials used in our sessions were necessary, we would have a discussion about why this is necessary. Only if you provide written consent will I ever record part of or all of a session. I ask that you afford me the same courtesy. Get my consent before recording out sessions.
