    594. Tackling the Evaluation Waitlist Crisis w/ Dr. Jon Mietchen

    Click here to read the transcript In this episode, I speak with pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Jonathan Mietchen about an innovative approach to addressing the pervasive challenge of lengthy evaluation waitlists. We examine a telehealth triage model developed to shorten wait times by assessing pediatric patients within one month of referral. Dr. Mietchen outlines how a structured, one-hour clinical interview allows providers to clarify differential diagnoses, deliver immediate behavioral and educational recommendations, and determine whether comprehensive testing is truly indicated. We also discuss how this triage framework enhances care equity for patients on public insurance, streamlines school advocacy for families, and optimizes clinical workflows through the integration of licensed professional counselors. Main Topics 00:01: The pediatric neuropsychology waitlist crisis and motivations for model innovation 07:05: Overview of the telehealth triage intake pilot model 12:25: Conducting focused differential diagnostic interviews within 45 to 50 minutes 25:00: High-yield clinical interviewing techniques and open-ended framing strategies 35:40: Breakdown of outcomes and the 25 percent reduction in testing volume 39:20: Evaluating public insurance disparities and equity in evaluation access 45:30: Guiding families through school-based advocacy and educational support systems 56:15: Scalability and integrating licensed professional counselors into triage models Cool Things Mentioned Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists Reverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists UW Health Pediatric Neuropsychology Clinic: https://www.uwhealth.org/locations/university-hospital-170/pediatric-neuropsychology-clinic-451 Area Deprivation Index (ADI) – Neighborhood Atlas:https://www.neighborhoodatlas.medicine.wisc.edu Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

    591. The Evolution of Understanding & Assessing Dyslexia w/ Dr. Nancy Mather

    Click here to read the transcript In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Nancy Mather, a leading expert in educational assessment and learning disabilities, to examine the evolving landscape of dyslexia assessment and intervention. We discuss the historical transition in terminology from early concepts like word blindness to modern diagnostic criteria, while contrasting traditional single-deficit views with contemporary multiple-deficit models. Dr. Mather outlines key linguistic risk factors, including phonological processing, orthographic processing, working memory, and Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN), explaining how orthographic depth across different languages impacts diagnostic indicators. We also evaluate diagnostic frameworks such as Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW), address common clinical misdiagnoses and myths, and explore the development and clinical application of the Test of Dyslexia (TOD) and the Woodcock-Johnson V. Finally, Dr. Mather shares evidence-based intervention strategies, digital tools, and practical advice for translating diagnostic profiles into targeted instructional support. 00:46: Dr. Nancy Mather’s background and shift from behavior disorders to reading intervention 06:54: The historical evolution of dyslexia terminology and shifting diagnostic perceptions 11:58: Transitioning from single-deficit models to a multiple-deficit framework of dyslexia 14:12: Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) and reading fluency across transparent vs. deep orthographies 19:30: Debunking common dyslexia myths regarding intelligence, visual reversal, and creativity 30:38: Evaluating diagnostic models: Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW) vs. discrepancy models 38:24: Development, subtests, and clinical utility of the Test of Dyslexia (TOD) 48:36: Technological shifts in test administration: Woodcock-Johnson V (WJ V) features and digital adaptation 54:33: Evidence-based interventions, fidelity of implementation, and digital reading tools Cool Things Mentioned Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists Reverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Test of Dyslexia (TOD) Woodcock-Johnson V (WJ V): https://riversideinsights.com/clinical-assessments/wj-v Wilson Reading System: https://www.wilsonlanguage.com/ Read, Write & Type by Talking Fingers: www.talkingfingers.com MindPlay: https://mindplay.com/ Great Leaps Reading: www.greatleaps.com Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

    589. Joy & Alignment as Your Core Business Metrics

    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. When we first launch our private practices, most of us are chasing autonomy and flexibility, yet we frequently find ourselves trapped in what I call the accidental grind. Instead of building true freedom, we subconsciously shift into operating out of scarcity, fear, and obligation, transforming ourselves into highly stressed employees working for a disorganized, reactive boss: ourselves. In this episode, I break down how to flip this script by establishing your personal joy barometer as your primary business metric. Grounded in a recent 60-year meta-analysis on role stressors and burnout, I outline the three most common joy-sapping habits in private practice: stagnant fees, misaligned caseloads, and clunky workflows. I then provide a concrete framework for a non-negotiable executive planning day. You’ll get three targeted prompts to help design a business that actively maximizes your professional fulfillment and joy! Key Moments 00:21 – The Autonomy Trap and Slipping into the Accidental Grind 02:42 – Flipping the Script to Maximize Joy, Fulfillment, and Satisfaction 05:02 – Deep Dive into the 60-Year Meta-Analysis on Workplace Burnout 07:27 – Differentiating Between Role Overload, Role Conflict, and Role Ambiguity 12:14 – Identifying Joy-Sapping Habits: Stagnant Fees and Misaligned Caseloads 14:42 – Addressing Clunky Workflows and Overcoming the Scarcity of Time 19:12 – The Capacity and Joy Check: Auditing Your Calendar with a Two-Color System 21:14 – Executing the Three Operational Prompts for Sustainable Practice Architecture Cool Things Mentioned Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists Reverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.
