Kym Tolson hosts Run Your Private Practice with AI (Artificial Intelligence), a podcast born from her dual expertise as a practicing therapist and a dedicated explorer of technological tools.

Listeners will hear specific discussions on integrating AI into the daily administrative and clinical workflows of a practice, from managing notes and scheduling to exploring ethical considerations for client interactions. Kym approaches the topic without hype, focusing on tangible applications that can save time, reduce burnout, and allow practitioners to focus more on the human element of their work. Each episode aims to demystify complex concepts, translating them into clear steps that can be implemented regardless of one's technical starting point. The tone is collaborative and curious, acknowledging the rapid evolution of these tools while prioritizing client care and professional integrity. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of how artificial intelligence can be thoughtfully harnessed to support, rather than supplant, the vital work of therapy. This podcast serves as a trusted companion for building a more sustainable and efficient practice.
