Between Sessions with Berries
You’re the one everyone turns to for support. But who supports you?
From endless documentation and emotional exhaustion to keeping up with clinical demands, mental health professionals are facing burnout like never before. You’ve tried better systems, stricter boundaries, even thought about leaving, but it still feels overwhelming.
That’s why Berries, your AI assistant built for clinicians, created In Between Sessions, a podcast made to help you do more of what matters: caring for your clients and caring for yourself.
Each week, we feature candid interviews with therapists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and mental health innovators who share what’s working in the real world, not just what looks good on paper.

How to Build an AI-Powered Intake Process with Uriah Guilford
Missed calls, slow follow-ups, and constant intake interruptions can quietly drain time and energy in private practice. For many mental health professionals, the intake process becomes a daily source of stress that pulls focus away from clinical work and accelerates burnout.
In this episode, Kym sits down with Uriah Guilford, licensed therapist, group practice owner, and founder of Productive Therapist, to explore how AI can simplify and streamline intake. Uriah breaks down how AI-powered reception tools improve response time, reduce administrative burden, and support a more efficient and humane intake experience without compromising ethics, empathy, or clinical standards.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why intake is one of the biggest hidden drivers of burnout in private practice.
- The limitations of call centers, virtual receptionists, and in-house intake staff.
- How AI-powered receptionists handle calls with empathy and consistency.
- Ways AI can screen, route, and schedule consultations automatically.
- HIPAA considerations and safety boundaries for AI in mental health settings.
- How faster intake improves client experience and conversion rates.
- First steps for mental health professionals curious about AI in therapy operations.
