    586. Current Research on AI Adoption Among Psychologists w/ Dr. Adam Lockwood

    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I sit down with researcher and consultant Dr. Adam Lockwood to explore the rapidly evolving integration of artificial intelligence within psychological assessment and practice. We dissect his empirical research evaluating the quality of AI-generated psychological reports compared to those written by licensed professionals, highlighting the surprising areas where technology outperforms human baseline standards, such as tailored intervention recommendations. Adam shares valuable data from his recent work detailing AI adoption rates across school psychology, health service psychology, and allied health fields, while addressing critical systemic challenges including automation bias, trainee de-skilling, and algorithmic bias. Our conversation offers a grounded, data-driven perspective on how practitioners can responsibly navigate these tools as intellectual thought partners rather than automated replacements.

    585. Unmasking ADHD in Girls and Women w/ Dr. Kathleen Nadeau

    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I sit down with renowned author, psychologist, and CHADD Hall of Fame inductee Dr. Kathleen Nadeau to dismantle long-held myths about ADHD. Dr. Nadeau shares her journey as an “accidental ADHD specialist” who helped pioneer the recognition of adult, female, and high-IQ manifestations of ADHD. The conversation explores why girls fly under the diagnostic radar, the exhausting cost of masking, how hormonal shifts dynamically alter symptoms, and how practitioners can overhaul their assessment frameworks to look beyond basic DSM checklists. Key Moments [01:07] The “Accidental” ADHD Pioneer: How a field once thought to only apply to hyperactive, misbehaving boys exploded in the mid-90s to include adults, girls, and women. [10:53] Redefining “Functional Impact”: Why high-IQ individuals, doctors, and lawyers get missed. “ADHD is manifested when the demands of our circumstances are greater than can be met.” [12:56] The Staircase Analogy: A powerful reframing tool for practitioners. Just because a student or professional achieves an “A” or finishes a project doesn’t mean they didn’t have to “crawl up the stairs” to get there. [22:34] The Estrogen Factor & The Ghost of Research Past: Addressing the historical lack of female-centric data and how estrogen directly dictates dopamine and serotonin receptor sensitivity. [27:14] Socially Rejected vs. Socially Neglected: Breaking down the social struggles of girls with ADHD. Hyperactive girls are often rejected as “bossy,” while inattentive girls are silently neglected/isolated. [34:48] The Kindergarten Masking Toll: The intense cognitive load girls carry to keep from rocking the boat, often leading to school avoidance or after-school behavioral meltdowns (“Screaming Mimis”). [52:20] Internalizing Disorders Require Internalized Inquiries: Why standard parent/teacher rating scales fail girls and why we must ask them about their qualitative, internal experiences. [01:03:40] Accommodations & ADHD-Friendly Families: Moving away from rigid symptom-tamping toward environment matching, collaborative problem solving, and making classrooms universally ADHD-friendly.

Nadeau, PhD, is an internationally recognized clinical psychologist, author, and pioneer in the field of ADHD. She is the author or co-author of 18 books on ADHD. Dr. Nadeau was honored with the CHADD Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025.  After spending 35 years leading The Chesapeake Center in Bethesda, Maryland, one of the largest multidisciplinary ADHD specialty clinics in the US, she has turned her attention to the development of ILAT (the Institute for Lifespan ADHD Training), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive, case-based, online training for clinicians. While knowledge about ADHD is everywhere, how to apply that knowledge is not. ILAT was created to bridge that gap.

    582. Unmasking the Twice-Exceptional Learner w/ Dr. Megan Helmen

    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Megan Helmen to delve into the complex clinical landscape of intellectual giftedness and twice-exceptionality. We explore how giftedness functions as a distinct neurotype rather than merely a high score on an intelligence test, emphasizing both its quantitative benchmarks and its qualitative realities. Dr. Helmen highlights the critical importance of looking beyond standardized psychometric thresholds, illustrating how bright children frequently utilize advanced compensatory strategies to mask underlying developmental disabilities like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. By shifting our clinical focus from rigid score cutoffs to qualitative process observations during testing, we can better identify hidden impairments and avoid misinterpreting a child’s struggles as mere quirkiness. Our conversation offers actionable insights for refining the diagnostic interview, navigating overlapping constructs such as Dabrowski’s overexcitabilities, and connecting twice-exceptional families with appropriate educational and community resources. Main Topics Discussed 03:39: Defining Twice-Exceptionality from Quantitative and Qualitative Lenses 12:05: Understanding Asynchrony and Skill Variability in Gifted Profiles 14:57: Exploring the Link Between Gifted Traits, Anxiety, and Perfectionism 19:01: Deconstructing Dabrowski’s Five Overexcitabilities and Clinical Frameworks 27:14: Conducting Effective Diagnostic Interviews and Eliciting Parent Stories 38:56: Shifting Assessment Focus from Psychometric Scores to Process Observations 52:14: Analyzing the Intersection of Autism and Giftedness Through Discrepancy Profiles 01:05:45: Essential Resources and Interventions for Highly Gifted and 2E Individuals 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 National Association for Gifted Children: www.nagc.org  Davidson Academy: www.davidsonacademy.unr.edu  REEL 2E: www.reel2e.org  Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education: www.bridges.edu  Bright and Quirky: www.brightandquirky.com Young Scholars Academy: www.youngscholarsacademy.org  Minnesota Council for Gifted and Talented: www.mcgt.net  American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology: www.theaapdn.org  Minnesota Psychological Association: www.mnpsych.org  Developmental Discoveries: www.developmental-discoveries.com Featured Resources TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.

About Dr. Megan Helmen In her early work with autistic children and their families, Dr. Helmen became increasingly aware of how difficult and disorienting the diagnostic process could be. This awareness shaped her professional mission: to provide a more informed, compassionate, and empowering introduction to neurodevelopmental understanding. Dr. Helmen’s approach combines clinical expertise and research-backed strategies with genuine connection and a sense of humor. After more than a decade of clinical practice within medical systems, she founded Developmental Discoveries to offer a more humanized and family-centered model of service. The practice is built on ensuring that children feel welcomed and understood, while caregivers gain meaningful insight into their child’s strengths, struggles, and opportunities for growth.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents. As the host of the Testing Psychologist Podcast, I provide private practice consulting for psychologists and other mental health professionals who want to start or grow psychological testing services in their practices. I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife (also a therapist) and two young kids. Ready to grow your testing services? Click below to join our Waitlist! Join the Waitlist
