Why This Summit Exists
The conversation that started it all
It started with a Facebook post. Co-founder Dr Esther Cole asked a private practice group whether therapists would forever have to work alongside AI chatbots. Over 50 comments later, one thing was obvious: clinicians are already grappling with this, mostly alone, and most feel underprepared.
Clients are using ChatGPT for their mental health. Co-founder Dr Aisha Tariq has used AI to cut 20 hours a week of admin in her own practice. And the ethical questions — about data, bias, and what gets lost when a machine stands in for a person — are not going away. They are getting more urgent.
We built this summit because the profession needs a space to think about all of this together, honestly and carefully, before the decisions get made for us.
