Run Your Private Practice with AI (Artificial Intelligence)

AI tools have made it easier than ever to build, create, and scale, but they've also made it harder to protect what you build. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm getting into something I've genuinely been wrestling with: what happens when anything can be replicated with a quick deep research session and a vibe coding tool?I'll walk you through exactly what I did when I didn't want to pay $39 for an app, how it spiraled into a real question about trademarks, intellectual property, and integrity in the age of AI, and where I've landed on all of it.AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:How vibe coding tools like Manus can build a fully customized app in under 10 minutes.What "deep research" in AI actually pulls together and why that raises real IP questions.How to use the 100 Side Hustles for Therapists freebie with your brand guide to generate personalized income ideas.Mentioned in this episode:100 side hustles https://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/opt-in-100-side-hustlesAI for therapists https://kymtolson.kartra.com/page/AI-Tools-for-TherapistsManus: https://manus.im/invitation/KQM69QAMNAOQGH8___________________________Connect with me:Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comJoin the Clinical AI Club: www.clinicalaiclub.comSponsored by Alma: www.helloalma.com/kymSponsored by Berries: Use code 50FromKym for $50 off your first month www.heyberries.com/therapists

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/797556009854363To 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/kymSponsored by Berries: Use code 50FromKym for $50 off your first month www.heyberries.com/therapists

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/aiprivatepracticeAI + HIPAA: Where Therapists Are Getting It Wrong.

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.

As therapists, we are often taught to set big resolutions without accounting for burnout, unpredictable schedules, or fluctuating energy. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I explain why traditional resolutions tend to fail and how goal setting needs to be redesigned to support your nervous system, not fight against it. Instead of using AI as a productivity boss, you’ll learn how to use it as a thinking partner to create realistic, sustainable goals that fit your actual life and workload.AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:Why traditional goal setting does not work for therapists with fluctuating schedules and energy.How to prompt AI to ask reflective, intake-style questions before creating any goals.A simple framework for fewer goals with clear motivation and systems that do not rely on willpower.How to choose weekly or monthly rhythms instead of daily tasks for sustainable goal setting.How to create fallback plans for good days, hard days, and everything-is-on-fire days so goals do not collapse.Prompts discussed in this episode:   I am a therapist with a full clinical load and limited bandwidth. I want realistic goals that support my mental health, income stability, and long-term sustainability. Ask me thoughtful questions to help design resolutions that fit my actual life. No clinical advice.  Based on my answers, propose three realistic resolutions that fit my actual life as a therapist. Each resolution should include a clear motivation and a simple system that does not rely on willpower.  Break each resolution into daily, weekly, and monthly actions. Each action should take less than 15 minutes and feel realistic for a therapist’s schedule.  For each resolution, give me a fallback version for a good day, a hard day, and an everything is on fire day. Make the lowest level so easy it still counts.  Turn these resolutions into simple tools I will actually use, such as a checklist, weekly tracker, monthly overview, or calendar reminders. Keep it minimal and non-overwhelming.  Act as my personal resolution coach. Check in weekly, help me recalibrate when life shifts, and remind me that sustainability matters more than perfection.___________________________Connect with me:Instagram: @thetravelingtherapist_kymWebsite: AIfortherapists.comJoin the Clinical AI Club: www.clinicalaiclub.comSponsored by Alma: www.helloalma.com/kymSponsored by Berries: Use code 50FromKym for $50 off your first month www.heyberries.com/therapists
