The Balancing Act: Ethics in the Age of AI
Artificial intelligence is already embedded in the platforms therapists use every day, and with that integration comes a set of ethical responsibilities that every clinician needs to be prepared to navigate.
This workshop provides a practical framework for making ethical, legally sound decisions about AI in clinical and administrative practice. Participants will examine the critical distinction between AI use with and without protected health information, the informed consent requirements for AI-assisted services, Business Associate Agreements under HIPAA, data privacy obligations, and cross-jurisdictional considerations. We will also explore future directions for AI in clinical assessment and what therapists need to watch as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve.
Participants will leave with clear, actionable guidance for evaluating and integrating AI tools in a way that protects clients and upholds professional standards.

About BrandiÂ
Brandi Morgan Matthews, LMFT-S, Attorney at Law
As an LMFT-S and Attorney in Oklahoma, I previously founded and owned a multi-location group therapy practice for more than a decade. During my 15 years of practice as a therapist, I specialized in working with children and families in the context of divorce and custody matters. Since 2010, I have practiced law focused exclusively on the areas of: (1) child advocacy, including serving as a court-appointed guardian ad litem and parenting coordinator; and (2) legal consultation and representation for mental health professionals.
Today, my law practice focuses exclusively on serving mental health professionals in Oklahoma. Consultations include all issues related to the practice of therapy such as responding to subpoenas, court orders, records requests, and licensing board complaints to complex legal issues including suicide and homicide assessment, child abuse reporting, and domestic violence.
Through my years of experience as an attorney and mental health professional, I have consistently seen the need for quality continuing education on legal and ethical issues to help therapists proactively address and avoid costly legal issues--especially for therapists in private practice. To fill that need, my continuing education programs are dedicated to helping therapists build legally sound, profitable, streamlined, and sustainable businesses that make a significant impact--without the overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout that is all too common to our profession.
