The Testing Psychologist Podcast

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. [https://thetestingpsychologist.com/511-transcript/] In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Robyn Miller to explore why every mental health practitioner needs a professional will. After experiencing the loss of her closest colleague and being thrust into managing her practice, Dr. Miller shares stories of clients who discovered their therapist’s death only after weeks of unanswered calls, and others who never learned what happened to years of their records. Through personal experience—including my own recent confrontation with mortality before heart surgery—we discuss practical steps for creating an effective professional will that ensures your clients receive compassionate care during an unexpected transition.  Cool Things Mentioned * The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting [http://www.thetestingpsychologist.com] * TheraClosure [https://www.theraclosure.com]: Dr. Miller’s service helping clinicians create comprehensive professional wills * Exclusive 15% discount with code “SHARP” for podcast listeners * Free “Ultimate Professional Will Checklist” available on the TheraClosure website * Complimentary 20-minute consultations for those ready to take this step Featured Resources I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!

[https://thetestingpsychologist.com/510-transcript/] In this episode, I dive into the often-confusing world of Pearson’s Q products—specifically Q-interactive and Q-global. What started as a simple comparison turned into a deeper exploration of the origins of the “Q” branding and the roles these platforms play in private practice. I walk through the key differences in functionality, pricing, and integration (or lack thereof), and share how we use both systems in my own practice. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to streamline your assessment workflow, this episode will help clarify which digital tools are right for you—and why you might actually need both.

[https://thetestingpsychologist.com/509-transcript/] In this episode, I dig into the widely discussed New York Times Magazine article, “Have We Been Thinking About ADHD All Wrong?”—and more specifically, I zoom in on one particularly compelling component: the fluctuating nature of ADHD symptoms over time. This idea—that ADHD is not a fixed trait but something that ebbs and flows with age and environment—is grounded in research from the MTA study and recent work by Dr. Margaret Sibley. I explore how her findings challenge our assumptions about stability, diagnosis, and treatment, and I share practical takeaways for clinicians, especially those of us doing ADHD evaluations. If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile inconsistent ADHD data across settings or over time, this episode is for you. We talk about environmental demand, age-related changes, what “remission” actually means, and why our clinical models need to be more flexible. I also provide concrete recommendations for clinical psychologists to rethink assessment, feedback, and follow-up care based on this evolving understanding of ADHD.

[https://thetestingpsychologist.com/508-transcript/] In this episode, I sat down with my friend and returning guest, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper, for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about her family’s leap into full-time RV life and how it’s impacted her leadership, practice culture, and mental clarity. We dug deep into the experience of running a group practice remotely, the evolving dynamics of delegating projects vs. tasks, and the personal transformation that can come from letting go—physically and professionally. Tara shared powerful reflections on the visionary-integrator relationship, the emotional labor of leadership, and how EOS continues to shape her team and systems. We also explored what it means to slow down as a driven entrepreneur and how intentional structure (and trust in your people) can help rein in relentless forward momentum.
