Although I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of North Carolina and Utah, I am not providing therapy, mental health services, or health care services of any kind within a coaching context;
Although I am not providing mental health services in a coaching context, I am at all times obligated to follow the ethical guidelines of my state licensing boards;
Although I honor the confidentiality of Thrive Communication Skills clients through my personal professional conduct, coaching clients are not afforded the same legal rights to confidentiality as therapy clients, as HIPAA only covers healthcare services, and coaching is not considered healthcare;
The software I use for client communication, booking, and billing clients of Thrive Communication Skills is not necessarily HIPAA-compliant.
