9 am to 4:30 pm (6.5 CE hours, meets law & ethics requirement)

The Beckman Center, UCI

Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the world of mental health—from documentation and assessment to the very fabric of how clients think and relate to therapy. As technology advances faster than our ethical guidelines, therapists face a crucial challenge: how to stay informed, ethically grounded, and human-centered in a rapidly shifting landscape.

To meet that challenge, we are bringing a talented group from the Bay Area- one technology expert and 2 clinical psychologists who have created an innovative and clinically oriented workshop designed for therapists who want to:

• Understand how AI really works in plain, therapist-friendly language

• Navigate ethical gray areas where formal guidance is still emerging

• Embrace innovation while protecting the humanity of therapy

• Learn about various AI tools that are the most useful

• See case examples and live role plays exploring real clinical dilemmas

Whether you’re curious, skeptical or cautiously optimistic, please join us for a thought provoking, interactive day that helps you stay current without losing the human connection that makes therapy transformative. For more details and Learning Objectives, please visit anatomyofintimacy.com
