In long-term relationships, sexual behavior serves as a revealing lens through which a couple's functioning can be observed.

September 19, 2025 | 3 MFT-Specific Ethics CE hours | Virtual

Presenters: Megan Story-Chavez, PhD, LMFT & Sarah Stroup, MA, LMFT, RPT-S

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming mental healthcare, presenting both exciting opportunities and complex challenges for therapists. This workshop, "Artificial Intelligence in the Therapist's Chair: Ethics, Practice, and Progress," provides essential knowledge for navigating this evolving landscape. Participants will explore the current and future applications of AI in therapy, including assessment, support, and treatment planning. The training will equip mental health professionals with practical insights into evaluating AI tools, understanding their capabilities and limitations, and integrating them responsibly into their practice while maintaining the crucial therapeutic relationship.

A core focus of the workshop will be the critical ethical and legal considerations surrounding AI in therapy. Participants will delve into issues of client privacy, algorithmic bias, informed consent, and professional accountability. Through engaging discussions and real-world examples, attendees will learn to identify potential risks and develop strategies for ethical and responsible AI implementation. This forward-thinking training will empower therapists to critically assess the progress of AI in mental health and confidently navigate its integration to enhance client care and professional practice.
