Calling all therapists!
If you're reading this, you've probably already noticed that the professional conversation about AI isn't quite the one you need. There's no shortage of webinars and AI tools coming our way. What's harder to find is nuanced conversations with peers about how this is shaping our clinical work.
Whether you're deep in the weeds with AI or just starting to pay attention, whether you find it fascinating or troubling or somewhere in between, you belong in this human space. We're gathering clinicians across specialties, theoretical orientations, and levels of familiarity with the technology. What we share isn't a position on AI. It's a commitment to thinking carefully, staying curious, and talking about what we're seeing.
I'm not a technologist. I'm a psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical experience, including work as a clinical consultant and continuing education provider. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to do this work well, and I'm convinced that as AI becomes part of everyday human experience, it belongs in our clinical conversation.
AI is moving fast, and what's happening right now deserves our serious attention. Even when it feels overwhelming, or sad, or appealing, or hard to track. So please, find a grounded spot by the virtual campfire and let's talk.
