Social Media Disclaimer

Last updated September 18, 2026

Melissa LaCour maintains a presence on social media and utilizes Instagram and Facebook (@melissalacourlpc). These profiles are online for the public to follow. If you choose to follow, here are the terms and risks to be aware of: 

  • Many platforms have a "you might know" or suggest you connect with other accounts based on who you follow. Connecting in any way electronically (via social media and even email) increases the chance that the platform we are connecting on might suggest that you connect with a current or past client of mine, my colleagues and/or even personal friends of mine. This can potentially decrease your overall privacy. This is a risk you run by following. Please follow at your own risk.

  • Social media is not the way to contact me for any reason. You can comment and/or send DM's but note that I may not reply.

  • If you choose to comment, remember your comment is public. The language you use in your comment could reveal that you are a client of mine. This may or may not be a concern to you. It's up to you.

  • My personal opinions, more of my professional background, and other parts of myself may or may not be revealed in posts. This may or may not concern you. For some individuals they would prefer not to know anything personal about their therapist. If you prefer to not, please do not follow. 

  • Instagram is not a substitute for psychotherapy sessions.

  • If you choose to follow and a post makes you uncomfortable, offends you, and/or disrupts your comfort and/or trust in me in any way, you are encouraged and responsible for bringing this to my attention so we can discuss. This is a risk you run by following. Please follow at your own risk.

  • Please be mindful of following only my professional accounts; do not send me requests to follow or connect on any personal accounts.

With all of this said, I welcome followers. Share it with your friends. It's there to be of support and encouragement. My goal is to democratize as much of my privileged education as possible. And there is of course no need/pressure to follow.
