What Every Therapist Should Know about Email and Texting
Behavioral health therapists have both legal and ethical guidelines pertaining to email. Some programs do an adequate job of one, but not the other. Even worse, some do neither and yet still claim to be HIPAA compliant. While that's probably a truthful statement, the part they're not telling you is that their programs aren't 100% end-to-end encrypted. In other words, they're not safe ALL the time. If you use those programs, your email and texts can be hacked.
