Therapists are angry, scared, and skeptical about AI—and with good reason. The pace of change in mental health has been fast and messy, often leaving clinicians feeling left out of the decisions that affect them most.

But information is power. To meaningfully shape the future of this field, we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines or operate from an uneducated space.

This conversation brings two critical perspectives together:

  • Dr. Rachel Wood, a cyberpsychology expert who began her career as a therapist and went back for her PhD to study AI and human connection.

  • Daniel Cahn, co-founder of Slingshot AI, offering insight from the computer science and technology-building side.


Hosted by Megan Cornish, LICSW, Founder of Fit Check, this discussion won’t be adversarial, but it will be honest, thoughtful, and philosophical.

How it works:

  • We’re not taking questions live. Instead, therapists are invited to submit questions in advance so the speakers can come prepared with research and context. (Questions can be submitted here: https://forms.gle/Moc5Bg6gPqGCgBiJA)

  • Favor will be given to questions submitted by members of the Fit Check community.

  • The event is open to the public, but the deeper follow-up discussion will take place inside Fit Check.


Join us for this important conversation, and add your questions to help guide it.
