2026/09/30

I've built more than 50 Custom GPTs for my own business and for therapists in the Thera AI Hub, and OpenAI just announced it's retiring every one of them. If you've built even one, a deadline is coming, and there are a few things you'll want to do before it hits. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I explain what's replacing Custom GPTs and which parts of your work carry over versus what you'll need to rebuild by hand. I also share why, once the frustration wore off, I ended...

2026/09/23

If you've been typing your whole life story into every new AI chat, a Brand Brain is going to change how you work. I did this for a long time. I'd open a fresh chat, explain my practice and how I like to sound, get what I needed, and then start from scratch again the next day. A newsletter I read recently called it doing unpaid onboarding for a robot, and I laughed because it's so true. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk you through what I taught live on my last Ther...

117. Your Therapist Can't Be Subpoenaed, But ChatGPT Can

Run Your Private Practice with AI (Artificial... ·

2026/09/16

A headline stopped me mid-coffee this week: your therapist can't be subpoenaed, but ChatGPT can. Of course, therapists can be subpoenaed too, so it's really just a catchy headline. But it got me thinking, because I know how many of you are still dictating notes into ChatGPT between clients, venting about a tough case, or asking it for a new intervention idea. You tell me about it constantly, in coaching calls and emails. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I get into why tha...

Right before I hopped on a call with the same people I'd just spent a week teaching to build their websites on it, I got the email that Manus shut down, and my stomach dropped. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through what actually happened when the platform I depend on for so much of my business hit a major shake-up, why it turned out okay, and the backup habits I'm building into my business now so the next platform scare doesn't catch me off guard. I'm not here t...

A member in my AI club recently froze over a simple question about her CE training slides, right as news broke about Claude watermarking content and rumors started flying about an APA crackdown on AI in continuing education. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I break down what the watermarking news actually means, what the APA guidance really says, and the four buckets I use to figure out where AI belongs in the CE process and where it doesn't. I also get into why detection...

2026/08/26

You've probably heard me say it a hundred times: never put client information into regular ChatGPT. That rule still stands, but there's now a separate HIPAA-Compliant ChatGPT built specifically for clinicians, and almost nobody knows it exists yet. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through exactly how I got verified with my NPI number in under three minutes, what I'm actually using it for day-to-day, and the one sneaky spot in the settings where it's not compliant u...

It's easy to think you already know what AI can do for therapists, until someone stretches the idea further than you expected. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I sit down with Claire Feldman, a therapist who specializes in binge eating and ADHD, to talk about the tools and workflows she's built into both her private practice and her mentoring business. We get into everything from automated newsletters that write themselves to AI tools that assess a website's visibility, p...

2026/08/12

A few episodes ago, I said Fable wasn't all that impressive, but Claude Fable 5 has spent the last few weeks proving me completely wrong. It posted content for me, built a sales page, and ran automations I never had time to get to, mostly without me in the room. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk through what I had it handle this month, from a LinkedIn post that went viral before I even read it, to a sales page it built and tested on its own, to email sequences and a...

2026/08/05

AI Is Changing Mental Health Care faster than most therapists realize, and right now the loudest voices shaping that change are tech founders, VCs, and insurance companies, not the clinicians actually in the room with clients. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I get into why that's been bugging me for months and what I think we need to do about it. I walk through what's actually happening behind the scenes right now, states passing AI legislation, insurance companies quiet...

2026/07/29

You can build a therapist website using AI now, and it does not have to take nine months or cost five thousand dollars like mine did. I spent years bouncing from Weebly to Brighter Vision to a developer who farmed my project out and disappeared, and honestly, I regret most of that money and time. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I'm walking through the exact process I used to build aifortherapists.com for about $36 in under two hours, using Claude to plan the site and Manus...

If you have ever wondered how AI helps ADHD therapists build a business that works with their brain instead of against it, this conversation will give you a clear picture of what that actually looks like day-to-day. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I sit down with Maren Londahl-Smidt, a therapist turned money coach who has been all in on AI for the last two years and says she could not run her business without it. Maren walks through the tools she leans on most, why Click...

If you've ever wondered what AI clinical documentation tools actually look like once someone puts real hours into building and testing them, this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI is for you. My guest, Ed Stern, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who owns Nothing Better Health and Queer Ear Mental Health, has spent years pulling apart what works, what doesn't, and what he's had to rebuild from scratch when a tool didn't hold up. Ed walks through the safeguard he built directly into h...

Claude Fable 5 has been everywhere on your feed these past weeks, with AI gurus swearing it was your last chance to try Anthropic's smartest model before July 7th. I saw the same countdown timers and red arrows you probably did, and before I said a word about it to my own community, I had my AI fact-check the claim first. What I found changed the whole story I was about to tell, and it also handed me a simple way to decide when the expensive model is actually worth using. In this episode of R...

For years, running a practice meant hiring help, training that help, and waking up to a phone already full of messages before the day even started. If managing a team has never felt like your strength, you are not the only one, and it might not have to stay that way. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I sit down with Sally Riggs to talk about using AI to run your business when you would rather not manage a big team. Sally is a traveling therapist, a travel agent, and a memb...

If you have ever wished you could hand off the daily grind of engaging on Instagram, a social media comment agent might be the thing you didn't know you were missing. Keeping up with social media is exhausting, and the part nobody really talks about is how much time it takes to thoughtfully engage with other people's content so the algorithm actually pays attention to you.

A slow work week is usually a gift in disguise. When you finally get a little space, you can play around with the AI automations you've been wanting to try but never had time for, the ones that quietly make your business run more easily in the background. That is exactly what happened to me this week while I was traveling to see family. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk you through a few automations I built with Claude Cowork, Manus, and Canva that are helping me ge...

There are a handful of tools quietly running my business in the background right now, and most of them I only started using in the last few weeks. If you are a therapist trying to figure out what is actually worth your time, the list gets noisy fast, so I narrowed it down to My Top Three AI Tools, the few that have actually stuck.

The conversation around AI and energy use has gotten loud, and if you care about the planet, it can leave you feeling guilty every time you reach for a tool that would actually save you from burnout. Maybe your teenager has told you you're ruining the planet. Maybe a colleague keeps forwarding you articles about data centers. Maybe the guilt is all coming from you.

AI agents are incredibly powerful, but they can quietly drain your credits way faster than you expect. That surprise overage bill is more common than these platforms want you to know. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm sharing exactly what happened when Perplexity and Manus started charging me in ways I didn't anticipate, and the simple fix that moved my entire automation workflow to Claude for basically nothing. I walk through how to turn any agent workflow into a port...
