STRUA PRACTICE
The Builder's Path

The eight pillars of a therapy practice, and where AI fits in each.

Dr. Nicholas Gehle, Psy.D. · licensed clinical psychologist

Start with whichever pillar your practice needs. One has a free tool today, and one question at the bottom tells me which to build guidance for next.

The eight pillars

Where AI fits, in every pillar

Not a separate pillar. These are the kinds of work AI can take off your plate as you build, while the clinical judgment stays yours.

Drafting first versions
Turning what you already know into a clear first draft you then edit.
Organizing admin
Sorting, scheduling and templating the non-clinical work.
Thinking through new work
Mapping what work beyond the 50-minute hour would take.
Laying out the numbers
Putting options and costs side by side before you choose.
Checking how you read online
Seeing what people, search tools and AI assistants can tell about your practice.

In everything here, your clinical judgment, your licensing board's rules and your clients' privacy come first. Nothing here involves putting client information into an AI tool.

A free place to start
