    98. How to Use the ChatGPT Image Generator in Your Private Practice

    Most therapists aren't doing much with images in the therapy room. Unless you're a somatic or art therapist, it's a whole category of intervention that just goes untapped. But the ChatGPT image generator just got a major upgrade, and it might change that. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm sharing a prompt I found online that stopped me in my tracks and made me think about how we could bring this into the therapy room in a really meaningful way. From younger self and future self visualizations to parts work, grief, and boundary practice, I walk through a handful of ideas that came out of one powerful image and a lot of brainstorming. AI Tips You Don't Want to Miss: How to use the younger self and older self prompt to create a powerful therapeutic image with your clients.Creative ways to generate therapeutic images around grief, inner critic work, parts work, and boundary practice.Why you should have clients use their own ChatGPT to upload their own photos and keep PHI out of the process.Mentioned in this episode: Link to the post in the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiprivatepractice/posts/797556009854363 To grab the prompt, head over to: https://clinicalaiclub.com/episode/98-how-to-use-the-chatgpt-image-generator-in-your-private-practice ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comJoin the Clinical AI Club: www.clinicalaiclub.comSponsored by Alma: www.helloalma.com/kym Sponsored by Berries: Use code 50FromKym for $50 off your first month www.heyberries.com/therapists

    97. AI Is Cutting Jobs Everywhere, So I Built an Agent to Help!

    AI is cutting jobs everywhere, and the disruption is closer than most people think. Ghost job listings, instant rejections from AI scanners, applications disappearing into a void. Sound familiar? In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through exactly what I built to help fight back against that noise. Two custom AI agent skills, developed inside Claude Cowork, that automate the job search process from finding qualified listings to rewriting a resume for each one. And yes, this applies to you too, whether you are pivoting your practice, building tools for clients, or just trying to understand what is actually possible with AI right now. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: How to build a job search agent that scans 50+ sites every morning and rates listings by fit.Why transferable skill files let you move your AI workflows between platforms when credits run out or performance drops.How therapists can package these same agent-building skills to create tools, sell them, or distribute them at scale.___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comJoin the Clinical AI Club: www.clinicalaiclub.comSponsored by Alma: www.helloalma.com/kym Sponsored by Berries: Use code 50FromKym for $50 off your first month www.heyberries.com/therapists

    96. What Therapists Get Wrong About HIPAA Compliance AI Tools

    Most therapists using AI in their practice think they've got HIPAA compliance covered. HIPAA compliance AI tools are more complicated than most of us realize, and in 2026, the landscape has shifted enough that the old rules no longer cover what we're actually doing. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm walking through the blind spots I keep seeing, from AI agents that can see your screen to browser extensions sitting in the same profile as your EHR. These are the exact questions that keep coming up in my mastermind calls, and they're the reason I'm bringing in HIPAA compliance consultant Samantha Schalk for a free 90-minute webinar on May 5th so you can get real answers to the scenarios you're actually dealing with. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: Why having a BAA doesn't automatically cover every tool or feature that company offers.What actually counts as PHI and why removing a client's name isn't enough.How browser sidebar assistants create HIPAA exposure even when the base platform is compliant.Why AI agents on your computer may have access to more than you realize.How browser extensions can quietly access clinical content in your profile.Mentioned in this episode: Run Your Private Practice with AI FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiprivatepractice AI + HIPAA: Where Therapists Are Getting It Wrong.

    95. AI Is Replacing Therapists Faster Than We Think

    AI is replacing therapists, and if you've been noticing fewer new intakes or a lighter caseload, this might be exactly why. Clients are already turning to ChatGPT between sessions to vent, process, and get quick support. Fast, free, and available on demand. That's a hard thing to compete with if we keep running the same model. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm sharing what I've been reading and thinking about this week, including a policy document from OpenAI proposing a robot tax, a national wealth fund, and a four-day work week. I'm also talking about what I think therapists need to start doing now to stay relevant, profitable, and actually useful to clients in a world where AI is moving faster than most of us are ready for. AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss: Why clients are turning to AI for bite-sized support and what that means for your caseload.How offering shorter, more accessible sessions could help you compete with on-demand AI tools.Why diversifying your income now, before the disruption peaks, is one of the smartest moves you can make.Mentioned in this episode: Run Your Private Practice with AI FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiprivatepractice Post about Sam Altman - https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiprivatepractice/posts/780688311541133 Newsletterhttps://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/Join-AI-Newsletter ___________________________ Connect with me: Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comJoin the Clinical AI Club: www.clinicalaiclub.comSponsored by Alma: www.helloalma.com/kym Sponsored by Berries: Use code 50FromKym for $50 off your first month www.heyberries.com/therapists
