In this episode, I'm joined by Kym Tolson, LCSW for an eye-opening conversation about what AI really means for the future of mental health practice. Together, we unpack some of the biggest myths and misconceptions therapists have about AI, including concerns about privacy, ethics, environmental impact, burnout, and whether technology could ever replace the therapeutic relationship.
Kym shares practical ways therapists can begin using AI right now to reduce documentation burden, streamline practice operations, support marketing efforts, and create more sustainable workflows, all while staying clinically grounded and ethically informed.
We also talk about why the future of therapy may require clinicians to lean even more into relational skills, clinical judgment, and authentic human connection.
Plus, we highlight the free 1.25 NBCC-approved CE training available through Berries Academy, where I'm serving as the course administrator and Kym is the presenter.
If AI has felt overwhelming, confusing, or even a little scary, this episode will help you feel informed, empowered, and ready to take the first step.
