Mental health professionals are feeling the pressure: AI is transforming client care, documentation, and even emotional support. But does this mean the therapist is being replaced? In this episode, Rajeev Kapur—MIT-certified AI expert, three-time CEO, and author of AI Made Simple—joins Kym to explore how generative AI is reshaping therapy and mental health support, for better or worse.
Rajeev shares real-world stories, including a powerful case of an executive using ChatGPT for crisis support, and challenges clinicians to rethink what AI means for their practice. This conversation dives deep into ethical concerns, clinical opportunities, and what it will take for therapists to remain both relevant and effective in the AI era.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- How generative AI is already being used for self-guided emotional support

- Why HIPAA-compliant AI tools are critical for clinical integrity
- The real dangers of emotional dependence on AI companions
- How Rajeev helped a CEO move from crisis to clarity using ChatGPT
