Add a lot more. there is no way I would consider using your service right now, even trusting that you are completely HIPAA compliant. Honestly, I'd need an assurance that you cannot get at (or give away access to) my records without the cooperation of me or my therapist.

Yeah, this is important. Therapist-client privilege has a specific legal definition, and it'd be very bad to loophole that away due to some inadvertent implementation detail.
