Genevieve Bartuski on AI in therapy and ethical risks

Описание: AI in therapy is reshaping mental health faster than most clinicians expected. But should therapists be worried — or strategic?

In this episode of Your Group Practice, Dan King speaks with psychologist Genevieve Bartuski, an expert in forensic and cyberpsychology with deep insight into AI governance and mental health technology.

This is not a hype conversation. It’s a grounded discussion about where AI fits in group practice — and where it absolutely does not.

What you’ll learn:

• Why the therapeutic alliance cannot be replaced by AI
• The real risks of AI hallucination, drift, and accountability gaps
• Ethical concerns around AI session recording and documentation
• How AI can streamline billing, audits, and backend operations
• The psychological impact of clients forming attachments to AI
• Whether AI can help bridge the mental health access crisis

Genevieve explains that AI is best positioned as a backend efficiency tool — not a substitute for clinical judgment. She also highlights the importance of HIPAA compliance, responsible data usage, and maintaining trust in the client–therapist relationship.

For group practice owners, this conversation is essential listening. The question isn’t whether AI is coming. It’s whether you will integrate it thoughtfully.
