What You'll Walk Away With
Finally: straight answers to the AI + HIPAA questions keeping you up at night
"AI + HIPAA is not just a usage question. It is an access and control question." - Samantha Schalk, LMSW
-
What "HIPAA-compliant AI" actually means, and what it doesn't The phrase gets thrown around constantly. A compliance expert breaks down what it actually requires so you stop guessing and start knowing.
-
The real risk with AI agents and browser tools: it's not what most therapists think Tools like Claude Cowork, Gemini, Perplexity Comet, and AI agents running on your computer raise a different kind of HIPAA question than just "can I use ChatGPT?" We're getting specific.
-
Does your Google Workspace BAA actually cover Gemini and AI agents running inside it? This is one of the most-asked questions in therapist communities right now. The answer is more nuanced than yes or no. We're breaking it all the way down.
-
The difference between a "usage" question and an "access + exposure" question This distinction is what separates therapists who are actually protected from those who just feel protected. Understanding it could save your license.
-
A practical framework for evaluating any AI tool before you use it with client information No more guessing. A repeatable checklist you can use every time a new tool lands in your feed.

About Kym Tolson, LCSW
I'm a licensed clinical social worker, digital nomad, and one of the loudest voices in the therapy world saying: AI is not the enemy. But using it without understanding the compliance landscape? That's where things go sideways fast.
For years I've been helping therapists navigate the intersection of technology, ethics, and private practice, through my Clinical AI Club, TheraAI Hub, and my podcast Run Your Private Practice with AI (5.0* on Apple Podcasts). My community has been asking HIPAA + AI questions for months, so I brought in exactly the right expert to answer them.
You deserve real answers, not vague "consult a professional" non-answers. That's exactly what this training delivers.
