Thoughts on AI and Tech Platforms in Private Practice | TPOT 426

About this episode

Gordon Brewer discusses the impact of AI and technology on therapy, addressing listener questions and emphasizing the importance of human connection.

What happens when you open the floor and let your audience ask anything? That's exactly what we did in this episode, and the questions did not disappoint. We're diving into the big ones therapists are quietly asking right now. Is AI going to replace us? Are companies like BetterHelp helping or hurting the field? And how do you actually stand out when clients can talk to a chatbot instead of a human? I'm sharing my honest thoughts on where all of this is headed, what most therapists are getting wrong about AI, and why the human connection in therapy still matters more than ever. If you've been feeling unsure, frustrated, or even a little threatened by the changes happening in our industry, this episode will help you step back, rethink the problem, and approach it with clarity instead of fear. Plus, I'm answering real listener questions and giving you practical ways to navigate it all as a practice owner. This is one of those conversations that might challenge how you've been thinking about the future of therapy.
