What AI is not used for
AI is not used with client data or individualized clinical assessment material. Specifically:
- AI does not administer, score, or interpret screening instruments or questionnaires.
- AI does not analyze client responses, session content, assessment data, or clinical records.
- AI does not generate, suggest, or influence individualized diagnostic impressions or clinical formulations for clients.
- AI does not process, store, or have access to protected health information, session notes, client records, or assessment results.
- AI is not used during sessions.
- No client data is entered into any AI system.
All individualized clinical decisions - including instrument selection, score interpretation, cross-instrument pattern analysis, diagnostic impression, differential reasoning, recommendations, and documentation - are made by the clinician based on direct clinical contact, validated instruments, and professional judgment.
What AI is used for
AI tools may be used for practice development and administrative functions that do not involve client data. These include:
- Website and tool development. The assessment website, public reflection tools, and educational content may be developed with AI assistance for coding, design, and drafting. Clinical content is reviewed before publication.
- Educational content drafting. Articles in the Learn section may be drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the clinician for clinical accuracy, appropriate hedging, and alignment with the evidence base.
- Practice operations. AI may be used for non-clinical tasks such as organizing workflows, drafting non-clinical communications, or researching clinical literature for professional development.
In all cases, AI functions as a drafting and development tool under clinician supervision - not as a clinical decision-making tool.
Why this matters
The distinction between using AI as a practice-development tool and using AI as a clinical tool is not cosmetic. It reflects a basic clinical boundary.
The clinical relationship is between you and a licensed clinician. Your assessment is conducted by a human who meets with you, listens to your history, asks follow-up questions, administers and interprets screening tools within a clinical context, and applies professional judgment informed by training and clinical experience.
No client data, assessment interpretation, or individualized clinical documentation is delegated to, generated by, or filtered through an AI system.
Data protection
- No protected health information is entered into any AI platform, chatbot, or large language model.
- No session content, assessment scores, client names, or identifying information is processed by AI tools.
- AI tools used for practice development operate on non-clinical content only.
- Clinical records, communications, and documentation are maintained in practice systems. AI tools are not part of those clinical-record systems.
Questions
If you have questions about how AI is or is not used in this practice, you are welcome to ask during your consultation or at any point during the assessment process. Transparency about tools and methods is part of informed consent.
