The Testing Psychologist Podcast is a detailed, practice-minded guide to the clinical and business realities of psychological assessment. Dr. Jeremy Sharp frames the show from inside the work, not above it. He is identified in the episodes as a licensed psychologist, group practice owner, and private practice coach, and that combination shapes the show’s range. One episode may walk through EHR billing profiles, claim settings, telehealth links, user roles, and progress-note defaults. Another may turn to ADOS-2 research, autism classification thresholds, and the limits of relying on a measure when clinical judgment is uncertain. The show does not treat those as separate worlds. It understands that a testing practice has to make good diagnostic decisions, communicate results clearly, protect privacy, manage staff, and stay financially viable. That practical breadth is the point. Clinical topics are handled with a steady respect for complexity, including functional neurological disorder, ADHD in girls and women, autism assessment, and the use of AI in feedback or therapeutic assessment contexts. Business episodes can be just as specific. Group-practice growth becomes a conversation about contractor models, W2 culture, staff transparency, time off, and what happens when revenue drops below payroll. Solo episodes often use audits, ratios, and worked examples to help clinicians inspect their own systems. Guest conversations add clinical and operational perspective without turning the show into loose banter. The pacing is measured. The language is technical when it needs to be, but the explanations keep returning to implementation. There is a recurring concern for misuse, especially around AI, privacy, passive reliance on tools, and substituting technology for human relationships. There is also a recurring insistence that clinicians cannot manage what they do not measure. The result is a show for assessment professionals who want to think more clearly about both cases and operations. It is especially useful for psychologists and mental health professionals who are building, refining, or scaling testing services and want guidance that respects the clinical stakes while still asking whether the business model works.
Made for: Psychologists, neuropsychologists, testing clinicians, and mental health practice owners who want practical guidance on assessment services, clinical decision-making, tools, staffing, billing, and growth.
What sets it apart: The show connects clinical nuance with the operational math of private practice. It can move from ADOS-2 specificity to EHR enrollment settings or group-practice payroll without losing the practical thread.
Helping psychologists, neuropsychologists, and mental health professionals start, grow, and scale psychological testing services in private practice.
