The ethical code of conduct is pretty strict on that: therapists aren't encouraged to 'friend' clients on social media. This further blurs the boundaries between what is meant to be a professional (therapeutic) relationship vs. something more friend-like. Not even mentioning all the elements of transference (or counter-transference) etc. A therapist is not (meant to be) a client's friend.
Thanks for this!
