A  7-hour Self-Study Course

Clinton Power and Juliet Austin - Owners of the Mind Body Training Institute

“We are pretty much at the first step [with Artificial Intelligence and mental health]."

There is no sense in sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that this is not going to stick around. It isn’t some fickle fad. It is going to permanently change, transform, and disrupt mental health therapy as we know it.

Lance Elliot

 World-renowned expert on Artificial Intelligence (AI)

ArtiFicial Intelligence is
TRansforming Psychotherapy.
Whether we Like it or not.

AI is marking a significant shift from traditional therapy methods. And ongoing developments are happening faster than any technology we’ve seen before.

AI is revolutionizing the accessibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of mental health services. 

And yes, AI has several drawbacks as well as  benefits, but the bottom line is we can’t stop it. The reality is that it’s here to stay. 

It’s crucial to learn as much as possible now, as we’ll soon have no choice but to adapt to it. 

THIS IS A PIVOTAL TIME FOR THE THERAPY PROFESSION

If you wish to stay at the forefront of the psychotherapy field, it’s important to stay informed about AI and its evolving role in mental health.

You can leverage its capabilities to provide innovative and effective treatments, enhance client outcomes, ensure the ethical use of new tools, streamline your workflow, and save time.

Additionally, it’s important to understand AI’s limitations and anticipate future developments in the field as they increasingly become woven into psychotherapy practice.

"Having previously taken a course with the Mind Body Training Institute, I signed up because I trust that you offer high-quality material."

It’s impossible to ignore the impact of artificial intelligence on the world and on the psychotherapy field. The course content was not only interesting and informative but also incredibly helpful. 

The comprehensive list of resources, insightful interviews, and highly effective demonstration videos were impressive. It’s unbelievable that these AI tools already exist—I was amazed… and this is just the beginning!

This course is essential for therapists.  We can’t ignore that AI is impacting mental health care very fast. We must stay informed and be prepared.

"The course exceeded my expectations."

 I work with many neurodivergent clients, and 30-40% use AI tools for support outside our sessions. 

Before the course, I had limited knowledge about AI and found the concept intimidating. However, this course offered a balanced and unbiased overview of the current AI landscape, and clearly explained the technologies and their application in therapy.

I appreciated the video demonstrations and the case studies, which helped demystify AI for me. The course opened my eyes to AI’s potential to make therapy more accessible. It has given me the knowledge I need to stay current in my field and prepare for future development.

"This course is ahead of the curve. It's opened the door to what can seem scary, making it applicable to therapy and less intimidating."

As a therapist with a keen interest in technology, I still found the intersection of AI and therapy daunting.  The course was very useful. It addressed the essential ethical issues and was pitched perfectly for therapists.

It provided a solid grounding in AI as it relates to therapy, and made it easier to consider integrating these tools into my practice. The resources were beneficial, and the demos and interviews were fascinating, giving a thorough overview of AI and how it applies to therapy.

The lessons on the notes apps and the founders’ insights in the interviews were particularly helpful. The ChatGPT admin demo was mind-blowing and practical, showing exactly how it applies to administrative tasks.

I can see some apps will be useful for my clients, especially those who could benefit from additional support between sessions. It’s clear that AI is impacting the therapy field, whether we’re ready or not.

This knowledge is crucial for therapists.  We need to meet our clients where they are, and this course helps us do that with open-mindedness and a thorough grounding in the application of AI to therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s hard to predict what will happen in the long term.

In the short term, there will be both benefits and drawbacks.

We’re offering this course, to educate therapists on both the positive and negative aspects.

One thing that is for certain is that AI will impact on the field. We have no choice about that, so it is better to be prepared than not.

As we’ve indicated on this page – AI is here to stay whether you agree with it or not. Whether you like it or not.

There are definitely reasons to be concerned about AI, and we cover these issues in the course. However, one thing is for  certain:

AI in psychotherapy is NOT going away.

Instead, it’s going to continue to advance at rapid speeds.

It’s only a matter of time before AI is widely integrated into therapeutic practice.

The sooner you learn about what is happening in the field and how people are using it, the more equipped you’ll be.

Further, as more people become aware of these tools, they are going to expect therapists to be using the most up-to-date technologies.

Also, the more therapists are involved in using the tools and providing feedback, the safer and more helpful the tools will be.

Some tools are available now but must be used cautiously as they have limitations, as we discuss in the course.

However, many of these tools are bound to be perfected in the coming months and years.

Other tools are still in development, and others will be created as AI technology evolves.

Millions of people are already using these tools, so it behooves you to know what they’re using and how they’re using them.

You can then inform clients about their limitations and guide them in using them safely.

This course is 100% self study. You’ll go through the 7 hours of materials at your own pace.

This self-study course consists of 7 hours of content – including the core content, 10 demonstrations of tools, 4 interviews with app developers and experts in the field, and a resource list.

We have reduced the fee to help make it available to as many therapists as possible as this information is important and will be critical in the future.
