AI and Mental Health: Ethical and Clinical Considerations for Psychotherapists

Course overview

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the problems clients bring to therapy--and the legal and ethical landscape therapists must navigate--faster than our training ever anticipated. This workshop provides a practical overview of AI use in clinical practice, including documentation tools, telehealth platforms, HIPAA considerations, and liability risks, alongside the emerging clinical challenges of AI companions, AI relationships, AI affairs, and AI-induced psychosis. Drawing on current ethics codes and real case examples, participants will leave with a concrete framework for responding to AI-related clinical and safety concerns with both competence and compassion. Whether you're tech-savvy or tech-skeptical, you'll walk away ready to meet your clients where they are.
