Who Will Control the Future of Therapy? with Steve Duke (Interview Refresh)

AI, venture capital, tech platforms, and the fight to preserve quality and human connection in mental health care with Steve Duke, creator of The Hemingway Report. We're at a tipping point in the evolution of our field, especially when it comes to the rapid ascendancy of venture capital, consolidation, and technology—those AI chatbots lurking and learning in the digital shadows.

I sound the alarm not to incite panic but to encourage resistance. We don't have to bow down to the homogeneity of late-stage capitalism. We do have to recalibrate outdated modes of operation and revamp our self-care strategies if we hope to continue providing quality service.

Steve Duke is one of the bright minds I turn to for data-driven inspiration and motivation. He founded The Hemingway Group, a business working with mental health organizations to help them succeed clinically and commercially.

If it still feels like AI is coming for your job, you're not wrong. Capitalism is continually working to optimize any experience for shareholders. But what about consumers? A growing consensus says clients of the behemoth therapy platforms are beginning to seek out quality over cheap access.
