    Big Tech & AI Won't Replace Private Practice

    Lots of private practice therapists are seeing a drop in referrals lately due to an array of factors, including the ongoing growth of big tech therapy and AI-based services. It raises the question: is private practice still sustainable? In this episode, I share my personal take: private practice isn’t going anywhere. And, if we can stay grounded in our roots of offering specialized, individualized, dynamic therapy, we can differentiate ourselves from big tech therapy. I share my take on this in this episode. What do you think? What pieces did I miss? Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode. Paubox makes HIPAA-secure email easy and streamlined.

    Therapists' Biggest Struggles in 2026

    Does anyone else feel like things have been extra hard for therapists in 2026? In this episode, I asked therapists to share their top struggles of 2026, because I wanted to know if something different is going on lately. I was surprised to find a much wider gamut of top therapist struggles reported compared to when I made similar episodes in the past. What do you think? Does it feel extra difficult to be a therapist? Or, are these just the same struggles we’ve experienced before but just in slightly different packaging? Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.

    My Story of Sudden Hearing Loss | SSNHL

    It's good to be back! Today I'm sharing my experience of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) a couple of months ago, and the aftermath that's unfolded since. I know this is a deviation from my usual topics, but I'd love people to be informed in case you or a loved one suddenly loses hearing. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is considered a medical emergency, but is often missed by medical professionals. I'll be back to my usual Private Practice Skills antics next week :) Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode. Paubox makes HIPAA-secure email easy and streamlined.

    Trying AI Therapy (I'm a Psychologist)

    Once I heard the APA cite evidence that an AI therapy chatbot was effective at treating symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, and disordered eating, I knew I had to give it a try for myself. I wanted to know if an AI therapist could help me not only with symptom management, but if it could help me discern what path best aligns with my values through a difficult decision I've genuinely been wrestling with. In this episode, I meet with an AI "digital therapist" for three sessions. Was the AI therapy app able to help me?
