Using AI Safely in Your Therapy Practice ft. Samantha Schalk

Using AI Safely in Your Therapy Practice ft. Samantha Schalk3 sept41 min

AI is everywhere in private practice right now, from note-takers, chatbots, scribing tools… you name it.

But how do you actually know what's helpful, what's hype, and what you need to think through first? 🤔

This week, Uriah sits down with Samantha Schalk, founder of Guardian Clinical Essentials, to talk through exactly that. With 20+ years in behavioral health (and a practice of her own), Samantha turns confusing compliance jargon into stuff you can actually use — no law degree required.

What you'll learn:

The PHI myth almost every therapist believes (spoiler: removing a client's name doesn't make it "de-identified")Why a website that says "HIPAA compliant" isn't proof of anything — and what you actually need on fileWhy chasing HIPAA "perfection" is the wrong goal, and what to focus on instead
