    Can ChatGPT be a therapist? What AI means for the future of therapy

    We know AI can give us answers in seconds. But can it really heal us? Therapy has never been more normalized… or more out of reach. And as waitlists grow and costs rise, AI has quietly become a place people go when they don’t know where else to turn. But what if it’s more than just information and convenience that people are seeking out in AI?We asked four therapists how they feel about their clients turning to AI for answers in an article from Front Desk Volume 6. And now, we’re turning it into a special narrative episode to dive even deeper into this topic. They explore why AI can sometimes feel safer than a human, how therapists are helping clients use it more intentionally, and what they’re hearing from colleagues and other practitioners across the field. It’s a fascinating look at an industry in transition, and what the future of care might hold.What You’ll LearnWhy so many people are turning to AI for comfort, clarity, or “quick therapy”The emotional risks and rewards of getting answers at the speed of a search barWhat therapists fear AI might replace (and what it absolutely can’t)How clinicians are integrating AI thoughtfully, from note-taking to between-session supportRead this article in Front Desk Volume 6Guest BioRoxanne Francis - Psychotherapist and public speakerAmanda Buduris - Clinical psychologist and business coachCarolyn Solo - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and business coachElana Sures - Clinical counsellor and clinic ownerEnjoyed this episode?Here are a few ways to stay in the loop:📱 Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts📷 Follow us on Instagram @janerunsclinics for behind-the-scenes moments and updates.Radio Front Desk is Brought to You by JaneWe like to make sure that when we tell you more about Jane, it’s super helpful.
