Run Your Private Practice with AI (Artificial Intelligence)

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 that headline is pointing at something real, the other AI privacy stories that landed in my inbox this same week, and the specific settings and tools I actually use to keep client information off anything that could ever be subpoenaed.
AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:
Why what you type into a regular consumer AI doesn't get the same protection your own head or your locked EHR does.
What it actually takes to verify and turn on the free HIPAA-compliant version of ChatGPT built for clinicians.
How to block specific websites from an AI agent like Claude Cowork so it can never reach your EHR.
The hidden risk of ambient AI notetakers like Granola sitting in on a session without the other person even knowing.
A five-minute gut check to run on your own AI chat history before you assume none of this applies to you.

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 to tell you Manus is bad, because it's not, and I'm still using it every day. This is about what happens when you build your entire business on a platform you don't own, and the simple habits that keep you protected no matter which tool shakes things up next.
AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:
Why relying on one AI platform for your whole business is riskier than it feels, even when everything is running smoothly.
The GitHub method that lets you pull your website's code out and rebuild it on a totally different platform in minutes.
How a simple backup button built into your website's admin dashboard can save you from losing everything.
Why custom GPTs are getting shaky and how turning them into portable skills protects your work instead.
The habit of keeping your brand voice, frameworks, and stories separate from any single platform, so a shutdown never means starting from scratch.

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 tools like Pangram and ZeroGPT are showing up everywhere right now, why asking whether the machine touched your work might be the wrong question entirely, and where I land on the difference between AI generating your ideas and AI arranging the pixels.
AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:
Why LinkedIn and Substack's new AI detection features are flagging even fully human-written posts.
The four-bucket framework for deciding where AI belongs in CE prep and where it doesn't.
What the APA's AI disclosure requirement for CE providers actually says.
How free tools like Pangram and ZeroGPT can check your own content before you publish it.
Why "did AI touch it" might be the wrong question to ask about your CE materials.

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 unless you go looking for it yourself.
AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:
How to verify with your NPI number and get into HIPAA-Compliant ChatGPT in just a few minutes, even if you're not a doctor.
Why signing the BAA under Settings and Agreements is the one step that actually makes it HIPAA-compliant, not just the name.
Using it for progress notes, treatment plans, and denial appeal letters with real client PHI typed straight in.
Uploading your own custom skills for things like content creation, supervision prep, and client homework.
Where the built-in agents get risky the moment they try to leave the platform and post somewhere else.

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, plus the interactive lead magnets that are replacing the PDFs nobody finishes anymore. If you've been using AI for the basics, this conversation might have you thinking bigger.
AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:
How a scheduled Claude task pulls fresh research and drafts a branded newsletter automatically.
Why Claude's MailerLite connector can build and launch an entire email sequence for you.
How Claire turned a six-week course nobody finished into short, interactive lessons.
What an AI visibility assessment tool for therapists actually does.
How deep research helps catch blind spots in how you're showing up online.
