Co-Author on Articles that Explore what AI means for clinicians and clients
Grace Berman, LCSW, a clinical social worker in our New York office who specializes in mood and anxiety disorders, is co-authoring a new series of blog posts exploring the growing role of artificial intelligence in mental healthcare.
Passionate about helping clinicians stay informed in this rapidly evolving field, Grace founded the AI Special Interest Group (SIG) for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) and has collaborated with fellow clinicians to examine how AI can be used ethically and responsibly in treatment.
The first article, AI Ethics in Mental Healthcare, looks at how AI is already showing up in clinical settings and outlines key ethical principles clinicians should consider, including fairness and bias, transparency, privacy, and the importance of preserving human judgment.
The second article, Using AI Responsibly in Therapy: An Ethical Framework for Clinicians, explores both the promise and the risks of AI in therapy. While AI tools can support tasks like symptom tracking, psychoeducation, and reducing administrative burden, they can also unintentionally reinforce anxiety or compromise safety and privacy if not used thoughtfully.
Together these articles, developed in collaboration with ADAA and the International OCD Foundation’s (IOCDF) AI Special Interest Group, offer practical guidance for clinicians who want to engage with AI in ways that support ethical, human-centered care.
