    117. Your Therapist Can't Be Subpoenaed, But ChatGPT Can

    A headline stopped me mid-coffee this week: your therapist can't be subpoenaed, but ChatGPT can. Of course, therapists can be subpoenaed too, so it's really just a catchy headline. But it got me thinking, because I know how many of you are still dictating notes into ChatGPT between clients, venting about a tough case, or asking it for a new intervention idea. You tell me about it constantly, in coaching calls and emails. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I get into why that headline is pointing at something real, the other AI privacy stories that landed in my inbox this same week, and the specific settings and tools I actually use to keep client information off anything that could ever be subpoenaed. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: Why what you type into a regular consumer AI doesn't get the same protection your own head or your locked EHR does.What it actually takes to verify and turn on the free HIPAA-compliant version of ChatGPT built for clinicians.How to block specific websites from an AI agent like Claude Cowork so it can never reach your EHR.The hidden risk of ambient AI notetakers like Granola sitting in on a session without the other person even knowing.A five-minute gut check to run on your own AI chat history before you assume none of this applies to you.Mentioned in this episode: Berries Academy: https://heyberries.com/academy ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    116. Manus Shut Down, and I Had to Back Up All of My Information. Don’t Put Your Stuff on Rented Land

    Right before I hopped on a call with the same people I'd just spent a week teaching to build their websites on it, I got the email that Manus shut down, and my stomach dropped. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through what actually happened when the platform I depend on for so much of my business hit a major shake-up, why it turned out okay, and the backup habits I'm building into my business now so the next platform scare doesn't catch me off guard. I'm not here to tell you Manus is bad, because it's not, and I'm still using it every day. This is about what happens when you build your entire business on a platform you don't own, and the simple habits that keep you protected no matter which tool shakes things up next. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: Why relying on one AI platform for your whole business is riskier than it feels, even when everything is running smoothly.The GitHub method that lets you pull your website's code out and rebuild it on a totally different platform in minutes.How a simple backup button built into your website's admin dashboard can save you from losing everything.Why custom GPTs are getting shaky and how turning them into portable skills protects your work instead.The habit of keeping your brand voice, frameworks, and stories separate from any single platform, so a shutdown never means starting from scratch.___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    115. Claude Is Digitally Watermarking Content, and Your CE Trainings Can't Use AI

    A member in my AI club recently froze over a simple question about her CE training slides, right as news broke about Claude watermarking content and rumors started flying about an APA crackdown on AI in continuing education. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I break down what the watermarking news actually means, what the APA guidance really says, and the four buckets I use to figure out where AI belongs in the CE process and where it doesn't. I also get into why detection tools like Pangram and ZeroGPT are showing up everywhere right now, why asking whether the machine touched your work might be the wrong question entirely, and where I land on the difference between AI generating your ideas and AI arranging the pixels. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: Why LinkedIn and Substack's new AI detection features are flagging even fully human-written posts.The four-bucket framework for deciding where AI belongs in CE prep and where it doesn't.What the APA's AI disclosure requirement for CE providers actually says.How free tools like Pangram and ZeroGPT can check your own content before you publish it.Why "did AI touch it" might be the wrong question to ask about your CE materials.___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    114. The Free HIPAA-Compliant ChatGPT Almost No Therapist Knows About

    You've probably heard me say it a hundred times: never put client information into regular ChatGPT. That rule still stands, but there's now a separate HIPAA-Compliant ChatGPT built specifically for clinicians, and almost nobody knows it exists yet. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through exactly how I got verified with my NPI number in under three minutes, what I'm actually using it for day-to-day, and the one sneaky spot in the settings where it's not compliant unless you go looking for it yourself. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: How to verify with your NPI number and get into HIPAA-Compliant ChatGPT in just a few minutes, even if you're not a doctor.Why signing the BAA under Settings and Agreements is the one step that actually makes it HIPAA-compliant, not just the name.Using it for progress notes, treatment plans, and denial appeal letters with real client PHI typed straight in.Uploading your own custom skills for things like content creation, supervision prep, and client homework.Where the built-in agents get risky the moment they try to leave the platform and post somewhere else.___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    113. Thinking Bigger About What AI Can Do for Therapists with Claire Feldman

    It's easy to think you already know what AI can do for therapists, until someone stretches the idea further than you expected. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I sit down with Claire Feldman, a therapist who specializes in binge eating and ADHD, to talk about the tools and workflows she's built into both her private practice and her mentoring business. We get into everything from automated newsletters that write themselves to AI tools that assess a website's visibility, plus the interactive lead magnets that are replacing the PDFs nobody finishes anymore. If you've been using AI for the basics, this conversation might have you thinking bigger. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: How a scheduled Claude task pulls fresh research and drafts a branded newsletter automatically.Why Claude's MailerLite connector can build and launch an entire email sequence for you.How Claire turned a six-week course nobody finished into short, interactive lessons.What an AI visibility assessment tool for therapists actually does.How deep research helps catch blind spots in how you're showing up online.Connect with Claire Feldman: Website: https://www.prosperinprivatepractice.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prosperinprivatepractice/  ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    112. Okay, Just Kidding. Claude Fable 5 Does Not Suck!

    A few episodes ago, I said Fable wasn't all that impressive, but Claude Fable 5 has spent the last few weeks proving me completely wrong. It posted content for me, built a sales page, and ran automations I never had time to get to, mostly without me in the room. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through what I had it handle this month, from a LinkedIn post that went viral before I even read it, to a sales page it built and tested on its own, to email sequences and applications that had been sitting on my to-do list for months. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: How a connector skill let Claude Fable 5 write, grade, and post LinkedIn content through Blotado without any manual posting.Building and testing a full sales page, HTML, hosting, and checkout included, starting from a single voice memo.Setting up a failed payment email sequence and segmenting it automatically across multiple memberships.Turning any completed task into a reusable skill so you can run the same workflow again on command.Pulling a resume together from a LinkedIn profile and drafting an application response in one sitting.Mentioned in this episode: Thera AI Hub: https://theraaihub.netlify.app/ Build Websites with AI - https://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/AIwebsite  ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    111. AI Is Changing Mental Health Care: Therapists, We Need Your Voice

    AI Is Changing Mental Health Care faster than most therapists realize, and right now the loudest voices shaping that change are tech founders, VCs, and insurance companies, not the clinicians actually in the room with clients. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I get into why that's been bugging me for months and what I think we need to do about it. I walk through what's actually happening behind the scenes right now, states passing AI legislation, insurance companies quietly testing AI triage chatbots, and ethics boards writing position statements, almost all of it without real clinician data behind it. Then I share what Berries is doing about that gap and how eight minutes of your time can help make sure the future of AI in mental health gets shaped by therapists instead of everyone else. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: The free quiz that matches you to the right AI tool, from Claude to Manus to Berries.Manus's 300 free daily credits, and why they're enough to start creating AI-generated graphics and video.The real energy cost of AI notes, and why it's smaller than most therapists think.A full practice website built in two hours for under $40 using AI tools alone.The eight-minute survey that could decide whose data shapes the future of AI in mental health care.Mentioned in this episode: Survey | The State of AI in Mental Health Practice 2026: https://tally.so/r/MeM8jM The Therapist's AI Cheat Sheet: https://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/AICheatSheet The AI Website Blueprint for Therapists: https://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/AIwebsite  ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.

    110. Build a Therapist Website Using AI in 2026 for $36 in Under Two Hours

    You can build a therapist website using AI now, and it does not have to take nine months or cost five thousand dollars like mine did. I spent years bouncing from Weebly to Brighter Vision to a developer who farmed my project out and disappeared, and honestly, I regret most of that money and time. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I'm walking through the exact process I used to build aifortherapists.com for about $36 in under two hours, using Claude to plan the site and Manus to actually build it. I'm also opening up my live AI website workshop on August 4th, 5th, and 6th, where we build a site from scratch together, plus a few lessons I learned the hard way about domains, contact forms, and email that you'll want before you start. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: Why Weebly, Brighter Vision, and a $5,000 web developer all fell short before she found a better way.The real cost of being locked into a website you cannot update yourself.How to use Claude or ChatGPT to plan out your website before building anything.What Manus does differently, and how she built aifortherapists.com there for about $36.What to check before transferring an old domain, including contact forms and email.Mentioned in this episode: AI for websites training https://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/AIwebsite AI website I made: https://aifortherapists.com ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comClinical AI Club and Thera AI Hub are merging into one larger program.
