Perinatal mental health was not built with neurodivergent people in mind.
And that gap is costing us.
In this 90-minute presentation, I’m joined by:
🧠 Dr. Stacey Greeter, psychiatrist (autistic, ADHD, OCD)🤰 Jane Kosloff, LICSW, PMH-C💛 Skylar Ibarra, LCSW, PMH-C
We dive into the intersection of:
• Autism & ADHD in pregnancy and postpartum• OCD vs. intrusive thoughts• Complex trauma in the perinatal period• Sensory processing & medical trauma• What neuro-affirming care actually requires
This is not a surface conversation.
It’s about misdiagnosis.It’s about shame.It’s about the clinicians who are trying to get it right.
If you work in perinatal mental health, psychiatry, therapy, supervision, or training — this episode will expand your lens.
If you’re a neurodivergent parent or expecting parent — you are not broken. The system just hasn’t caught up yet.

Sam Altman says 2025 is the year people start using ChatGPT for their emotional lives — to process relationships, rehearse hard conversations, and even find comfort.So what happens when your clients start doing therapy with an algorithm?
In this crossover episode of TwoX Labs x The Soft Science, Dr. Erika Miley breaks down:🧠 What AI actually is (and isn’t) — and why it can sound empathetic without ever understanding you.💬 How clients are turning to AI for emotional support — and what needs that really meets.⚠️ Why therapists must start asking about AI use the same way we ask about coping skills.🛑 What harm reduction looks like when AI becomes part of the therapy process.🧩 How professional associations need to protect the field — before insurance companies decide AI can replace human care.
 

Therapists and healthcare providers — let’s talk about the robots quietly hiding in your chart notes.
In this episode of TwoX Labs, Dr. Erika Miley breaks down exactly how AI is being built into the tools we use every day — from SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, TheraNest, and Jane, to the platforms many of us use for billing and referrals like Alma and Headway.
We’ll unpack:⚙️ What AI actually is (and isn’t) — spoiler: it’s not thinking, it’s pattern-matching.🔐 How your data and your clients’ PHI are stored, shared, or (sometimes) risked.🧾 What each company discloses in their terms of service.🚨 What “AI hallucinations” mean for therapy notes and ethical documentation.🧩 A clear safety and clarity rating system — so you can make an informed choice without digging through 10,000 words of fine print.
This episode is designed for busy therapists who don’t have time to do a deep dive into data security, but still care deeply about client trust.

In this conversation, Erika Miley, PhD LMHC CST and Aaron Miley discuss the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and healthcare. They explore the implications of AI tools in therapy, the importance of understanding large language models, and the risks associated with using these technologies without proper oversight. The discussion emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to be aware of data privacy, security practices, and the ethical considerations of using AI in clinical settings. Practical steps for providers to enhance their cybersecurity measures and protect their clients are also highlighted.
 
Takeaways
AI is not a hacker but a tool used by threat actors.Large language models (LLMs) are not true AI; they process patterns.Healthcare providers must be cautious with AI tools.Data privacy is crucial when using AI in healthcare.Providers should never input personal health information into public AI tools.Understanding the terms of service is essential for data security.AI can supplement but not replace human intuition in therapy.Cybersecurity training is vital for healthcare providers.Providers should use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.Regularly backing up data is essential for security.
 
 
 

In this episode, Dr. Bianca Laureano and I dive into the intersections of surveillance culture, abortion access, body autonomy, and the hidden power dynamics providers hold.

What does it mean to practice care from a lens of radical advocacy and healing?
How do we challenge western philosophy and systems of control while still showing up for our clients and communities?

This episode is for providers, healers, and anyone who wants to move beyond theory into praxis—a practice of radical care, justice, and liberation.

Nobody teaches you how to run a therapy practice when a hurricane destroys your community.
This week on TwoX Labs, Allison Puryear (Abundance Party founder) and I get brutally honest about what it's really like to keep your practice running when natural disaster hits. Not the sanitized 'resilience' content you see everywhere - the actual messy reality.
We've both been there: I survived Hurricane Ian, Allison dealt with Helene and the flooding aftermath. We're sharing the stuff no practice management course covers:
How to manage your own trauma while your clients are also traumatized
What happens to your caseload when half your community is displaced
The financial realities nobody talks about
Why your disaster plan probably sucks (and what to do instead)
This isn't about 'bouncing back' - it's about surviving and figuring out how to actually help people when you're also drowning.
Because apparently we need to learn disaster management the hard way.
