Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks is a psycho futurist and clinical psychologist with a passion for exploring how technology shapes our mental wellbeing. In this episode, we dive into the nuanced relationship between AI and mental health, unpacking both its promise for expanding access to care and the challenges around empathy, bias, and privacy.

Together the conversation breaks down why the future of mental health tech will be collaborative, hybrid, and multimodal—and why human nuance will always matter most.
