May 7, 2025 Board Meeting [Video]

While some Alaskans have limited access to therapists, even one physical therapy session can start the process of healing.

Therapists are human too—and sometimes, we’re not okay. Whether you're navigating grief, burnout, anxiety, or just a hard week, showing up for clients while struggling yourself can feel overwhelming and even shame-inducing. In this episode, I’m opening up about the realities of being a therapist when you’re not okay, why it’s more common than we talk about, and some practical tools to help you continue offering care without burning out or betraying your own needs.

Can AI replace a therapist? In this episode, we explore the real limits of artificial intelligence in providing mental health support. From privacy concerns to emotional nuance, I unpack where AI tools like ChatGPT can be helpful—and where they fall short. I also put AI to the test by presenting ChatGPT with some mental-health-related questions it claims it's able to supplement therapy with. How did it hold up?
