CE Hours 1

About this course

This self-paced course cuts through technological hype to deliver a grounded, clinical approach to integrating artificial intelligence into behavioral health practices. Moving past industry exaggerations, participants will gain a clear framework for evaluating software security, establishing multi-layered client consent, and identifying algorithmic bias. Learners will explore five distinct administrative and consultative workflows, including draft progress notes, treatment plans, clinical case consultations, session summaries, and peer feedback loops. By completing this course, participants will gain the practical insights needed to manage data privacy responsibly while leveraging AI to reduce cognitive load.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe at least three ethical considerations specific to using AI tools in clinical practice.
  • Apply a practical framework to evaluate whether a given AI tool is appropriate for clinical use.
  • Identify five specific clinical workflows where AI can be integrated to support therapist sustainability and client care.

Course Instructor(s)

  • Hannah Weisman, PhD

    Dr. Hannah Weisman is a licensed clinical psychologist (WA license #PY61390419, CA license #PSY30460) who provides psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents. She believe our culture doesn't do a great job teaching people about their mental health, and she's on a mission to change that. In her role as a therapist, she works collaboratively with individuals to help them reach their personal goals and live more fulfilling lives. Hannah partners with clients to take a deep dive and understand the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are getting in the way, then develop long-lasting tools to overcome those barriers and create a more meaningful life. She aims to honor multicultural differences and provide competent services to people from all backgrounds in everything that I do.
