AI Transparency

Short version

AI support at WD Therapy is limited to website coding, formatting, editing, design support, non-clinical public educational materials, public website resources, self-reflection tool development, and non-client research organization.

At present, AI is not used with client data, PHI/ePHI, or client records. It does not participate in therapy, assessment, diagnosis, assessment interpretation, treatment planning, clinical documentation, individualized recommendations, or decisions about an individual client.

Strict clinical boundaries

The clinical relationship is between you and a licensed human clinician. At present, no part of your personal therapy or assessment process is delegated to, augmented by, or filtered through an AI system.

In the current WD Therapy workflow, AI is not used to:

• process, store, or access protected health information (PHI/ePHI), session notes, intake forms, assessment responses, assessment results, client communications, or clinical records;
• conduct therapy or assessment sessions;
• diagnose ADHD, autism, AuDHD, or any other condition;
• administer, score, interpret, or summarize an individual client's assessment materials;
• analyze client responses, session content, clinical records, or assessment data;
• generate individualized diagnostic impressions, clinical formulations, treatment recommendations, care plans, reports, or referral decisions;
• write clinical documentation from client information;
• decide whether someone qualifies for a diagnosis, service, medication, accommodation, or referral.

All clinical decisions are made by the clinician based on direct clinical contact, history, measures, functional impact, differential diagnosis, professional training, and clinician review.

Administrative and development support

AI tools are used only outside client care for non-client work. These uses include:

• website development, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, site structure, formatting, accessibility checks, and quality review;
• drafting, editing, formatting, or organizing general public-facing educational materials;
• public resource and self-reflection tool development;
• summarizing or organizing public-source research or non-client source material for later human review;
• developing non-client templates, checklists, and operational materials.

Public-facing clinical, educational, and service-description language is reviewed, edited, and finalized by Stephen Andrew Waller-De La Rosa, MA, LPC before publication.

Research tools and staying current

Staying current with the evidence base is part of responsible practice. Where AI tools are used for this purpose, they are applied only to published research and to the assessment instruments themselves — never to an individual client.

One such tool is Open Evidence, a platform restricted to verified healthcare providers (through National Provider Identifier verification) that organizes peer-reviewed medical literature. At WD Therapy it is used to evaluate the published validity of assessment instruments — their psychometric properties, scoring protocols, and the populations in which they were validated — and to check claims made about those instruments against the cited literature.

Although platforms in this category are sometimes described as “clinical decision support,” that is not how this tool is used here. It informs which assessment instruments are well-validated enough to be used in the practice. It is never applied to an individual client, no client information is entered into it, and no clinical decision about a client is delegated to it.

Public website tools and quizzes

Public self-reflection tools connected to WD Therapy, including NeuroQuest and the Starting Point Quiz, are educational orientation tools. They are not therapy, intake, diagnosis, clinical assessment, medical care, or treatment recommendations.

These tools do not use AI to analyze your answers, generate individualized clinical recommendations, or decide what is clinically true about you. WD Therapy does not receive, store, or review your tool responses unless you intentionally send them to WD Therapy outside the public tool.

Client data and public tools

Please do not enter protected health information, urgent concerns, client-identifying material, or confidential clinical details into public website tools, public forms, standard email, or public AI tools.

At present, WD Therapy does not enter client-identifying information, protected health information, session content, clinical notes, assessment responses, assessment results, client communications, or clinical records into AI tools.

Questions

If you have questions about how technology is or is not used at WD Therapy, you are welcome to ask during consultation or at any point during care.
