"One common approach involves audio-recording therapy sessions so the clinician does not have to take detailed notes during the meeting. AI software can then analyze the recording and generate written documentation. Before agreeing to this practice, it is important that you understand how audio-recordings and AI-generated notes may be used, how your information will be protected, and what choices you may have."
"AI tools can convert session recordings into these notes, potentially saving time and allowing MHPs to focus more fully during their therapeutic conversation with you. AI can also create different types of assessments-for instance, screening for suicide or child abuse risks, diagnosing mental health conditions, evaluating service needs, identifying client strengths, and conceptualizing the client's situation according to particular theoretical frameworks (for instance, cognitive behavioral theory, family systems theory, or social constructionism)."
Artificial intelligence is increasingly used by mental health professionals to improve efficiency, often by audio-recording sessions so clinicians can avoid detailed note-taking. AI software can analyze recordings to generate progress notes and create assessments such as suicide or child abuse screening, diagnostic suggestions, service evaluations, strength identification, and theoretical conceptualizations. Use of AI introduces risks to documentation accuracy and to unauthorized access of sensitive information. Clients have the right to know how recordings and AI-generated notes will be used, how information will be protected, and to accept or reject specific purposes. Clients should ask therapists clear questions about AI use and safeguards.
