Seventh Episode of Podcast Series Mind Matters is Live “What About Him?” This Father’s Day, we’re breaking the silence on men’s mental health. As the host of Mind Matters and Co-founder of Kana, I’ve long felt this conversation was overdue. So, I invited Joe Zakutney—a licensed therapist and executive coach who works extensively with men—to help unpack what so many are carrying quietly, and why we often miss the signs. In this episode, we explore: • Why emotional vulnerabilit

In group therapy practices, growth isn’t just about adding more clients or clinicians — it’s about  scaling intelligently . The most successful practices today share one thing in common: they make decisions not just from intuition, but from insight. And that insight comes from  data  — not spreadsheets or manual reports, but real-time, actionable intelligence drawn from everyday clinical interactions. The Untapped Power of Practice Data Every therapy session, intake form, and

For group therapy practices, growth is both a privilege and a pressure. As caseloads expand and more providers join the team, maintaining consistency in care—and keeping therapists from burning out—becomes one of the biggest challenges. Every clinician brings their own style, but clients still expect one thing: high-quality, reliable care that feels personal and human. The tension between scaling up and staying connected is real. Too often, administrative chaos—missed notes,

In the nonprofit world, the mission is clear — do more good.But the path to scaling that good is often blocked by something less visible:  burnout  and  administrative overload. From managing volunteers and tracking outcomes to filling endless reports for funders, nonprofit teams spend a staggering amount of time on operations — time that could be spent supporting people.For small teams serving big causes,  the tradeoff between impact and capacity  feels constant. What if tec

In many nonprofit mental health organizations, healing begins not with a licensed clinician—but with a compassionate volunteer, a peer supporter, or a community worker who simply chooses to listen. These lay counselors form the backbone of mental health outreach, especially in low-resource or crisis-affected settings where access to professional therapists remains limited. But their role comes with a unique challenge:  how do you ensure quality, consistency, and safety when y

The behavioral health landscape is changing faster than ever. Rising demand, limited clinician capacity, and growing administrative strain have created a widening gap between need and access. Therapists, social workers, and psychologists are carrying more — often at the cost of their own well-being. And yet, amidst this pressure, a quiet revolution is unfolding — one powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Not to replace clinicians, but to  walk beside them .AI is emerging

For decades, mental health care has largely been reactive — clients reach out when symptoms become unbearable, and therapists step in to manage crises that have already unfolded.But what if we could see the signs earlier?What if care could shift from responding to breakdowns to  preventing them  altogether? That’s the promise of  AI-powered predictive insights  — a transformation quietly reshaping the way clinicians, practices, and care systems operate. The Problem with React

In the nonprofit mental health sector, impact is everything. Yet, for many organizations, measuring that impact remains one of the toughest challenges. Limited budgets, inconsistent reporting, and fragmented data systems make it difficult to know what’s truly working — and what’s not. The result? Programs that could change lives often lack the visibility and feedback loops they need to scale effectively. That’s where the power of  data-driven insights  and  AI-supported analy

Running a group therapy practice today is a balancing act between clinical care, administration, and constant coordination. As the number of clients and clinicians grows, so does the complexity — scheduling overlaps, inconsistent documentation, fragmented communication, and hours lost to repetitive administrative tasks. The result? Therapists stretched thin, operations running reactively, and leaders struggling to maintain quality and consistency across the team. The Hidden C

In the world of nonprofit mental health work, compassion is abundant — but capacity rarely is.Many organizations serving vulnerable populations face a familiar challenge:  ensuring continuity of care  when human, financial, and structural resources are limited. Clients drop off after initial contact. Follow-ups get delayed. Data gets lost between changing volunteers or rotating counselors. And when funding cycles end, programs pause — disrupting the very support systems that
