In this episode, I’m diving into the new (and maybe unclear) world of AI-powered treatment plans and sharing how tools like Berries are changing the game for therapists. Are you ready to transform the way you handle therapy sessions? Tune in as I cover how AI-powered treatment plan can streamline admin work and enhance client care. I’ll walk you through my experience using AI to generate treatment plans that adapt and grow with your clients.

But that’s not all—I'll also tackle one of the most asked questions: Do you need informed consent to use AI in your practice? Spoiler alert: Yes, you do! I’ll guide you through how to create an informed consent form (with a little help from ChatGPT) and the key elements you must include to protect both you and your clients.

This episode is packed with actionable insights, including:

• How Berries’ AI can regenerate treatment plans based on progress notes.

• Why informed consent is essential and how to make it seamless for your practice.

• My top tips for using AI ethically and securely in therapy.

Originally I was supposed to have a guest for this episode! Tech problems got in the way, so I’ll summarize what we were going to share. Ashley Washington was supposed to join us to share her genius in creating a custom GPT for her private practice. She did share the step-by-step instructions that she used and if you click through to Run Your Private Practice with AI Facebook group, you can see it under the files section.

Creating GPT’s has helped me so much, I have them on so many topics!! Everything from writing treatment plans, to helping me manage my social media, to navigating negotiations for brand deals with potential brand partners.

Another big takeaway from this episode is Berries.icu/therapists has released a new treatment plan feature! With this new tool, you can complete a progress note, click a button, and boom—a thorough treatment plan is generated for you and ready for updates. I’m dying to hear what you think because your feedback is gold!

Quick AI updates because the world doesn’t slow down: Google's Gemini released something similar to GPT, allowing you to create "gems". Also, GPT can now act as a search engine! Instead of seeing all the ads at the top of your search, you can now see what you actually came for.

Berries (my favorite time-saving AI partner) has a great deal happening - use my code: 50FromKym for $50 off your first month.

Catch you later, and keep dreaming big. This life of freedom and exploration? It's closer than you think.

Wondering how AI could transform your practice? Whether you're dipping your toes or fully immersed, there’s always something to learn. Last September, I said 'yes' to two public speaking gigs with a group practice—despite my stage fright. It was electrifying to see folks light up with ideas about AI's potential in their work.

My next speaking gig is for Nicole McCance’s program about scaling group practices using AI. It’s a four-parter, and frankly, I love sharing the transformative power of AI despite my nerves. Have you considered systemizing your practice with AI?

I was also thinking of running a webinar in our group too. Let me know your AI journey so far—I’m curious!

Speaking of systems, ever wonder about using AI for client waitlists or handling no-shows? The possibilities to streamline our operations are wide open. Create a ready-for-any-action SOP that saves time and eliminates headaches.

Branding is key when using AI for copy. It's too easy for things to turn generic. But grab onto AI’s potential by teaching it your unique voice. For example, if you’re struggling with Google Ads, AI can churn out effective ad strategies when you transfer the essence of ads that catch your eye into your own campaigns.

Your questions about filling or systemizing groups with AI sparked an idea for a whole module I shared with our Clinical AI club—30 AI prompts for turning an idea into reality.

Lastly, keep an eye out for big news from Berries—they’re about to launch a game-changing treatment plan feature. I'll give you a full tour when it drops.

Catch you soon!
