Season 3, Episode 5: How Gibson Is Using AI to Reimagine Group Therapy in SUD Care
3w ago00:45:14Tap to summarizeGroup therapy is a cornerstone of SUD treatment. But anyone who's run a session of 16 to 20 people knows the real challenge doesn't end when the group does — it starts when the notes begin.At Gibson, a Missouri-based SUD provider, high-volume group care is part of daily life. One session can mean dozens of individual notes. Multiply that across a full week in a workforce-strained environment, and documentation stops being an inconvenience and starts being a crisis.Gibson didn't accept that as "just how it is." They leaned into innovation instead.Host Denny Morrison, PhD, sits down with Janice Ruesler, PhD, LPC — Director of Educational & Special Initiatives, Gibson Center for Behavioral Change, to talk about how their team is using AI to make group therapy more manageable, more scalable, and a lot less exhausting for the people doing the work.
Transcribe →Season 3, Episode 4: AI & Open Access: How New Vista Scaled Care Without Sinking Morale
Feb 2000:30:16Tap to summarizeWhen New Vista transitioned to an open access intake model—allowing clients to receive care same day or next day—they knew the shift would dramatically improve the timely delivery of essential care. But leadership also recognized the risk: More intakes, higher acuity, and heavier documentation demands could easily overwhelm clinical staff.That’s why New Vista implemented Eleos before the open access rollout—strategically positioning AI as a support system for clinicians navigating a more complex, fast-paced model of care.In this episode of No Notes, host Denny Morrison, PhD, sits down with Nikki Stanaitis, MSW, LCSW, Chief Clinical Officer at New Vista, to explore how an open access model paired with a purpose-built AI platform delivered powerful results: faster access to care, better client engagement, higher productivity, and thousands of hours returned to clinicians. Nikki shares how thoughtful implementation planning, a trust-based vendor partnership, and a clinician-first mindset ultimately helped New Vista expand access without sacrificing staff wellbeing or care quality.
Transcribe →Season 3, Episode 3: How Lighthouse Behavioral Wellness Centers Ignited Staff AI Adoption
Jan 600:28:55Tap to summarizeFor years, Lighthouse Behavioral Wellness Centers took a cautious approach to tech implementation, trailing behind the innovation curve. But once the organization officially became a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), the leadership team knew they had to change that.That’s exactly why Tracie Del Torto, LCSW, Chief Clinical Officer at Lighthouse, championed the implementation of Eleos’ purpose-built AI platform. But deciding to adopt a cutting-edge technology was just the beginning. Actually achieving the desired impact required an intentional, culture-centered approach to rollout. By meeting clinicians where they were, investing in in-person training, and leading with empathy, Lighthouse achieved what few organizations can claim: near-100% staff adoption of a new AI tool.In this episode of No Notes, host Denny Morrison, PhD, sits down with Tracie to discuss how Lighthouse transformed documentation workflows, boosted staff morale, and elevated clinical quality across a far-flung, rural network of programs—all while keeping provider well-being at the center of their AI implementation story.

Aug 700:30:50Tap to summarizeBetween provider shortages, unmanageable caseloads, emotional fatigue, and onerous administrative requirements, it’s no wonder burnout runs rampant in behavioral health. While AI has the power to alleviate many of the challenges contributing to the behavioral health burnout epidemic, it’s not a silver bullet.
