    548. Warm Leads Win: Email, Follow-Up, and Relationship Marketing w/ Nicole McCance
    Jan 5 2026
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I sit down with Nicole McCance of the McCance Method to talk about what’s actually working right now to grow a therapy group practice when the market feels tighter and “easy referrals” aren’t showing up like they used to. We dig into practical lead generation moves that don’t depend on social media, how to use consult calls and follow-up like an actual sales process, and why hiring an admin sooner than you think can pay for itself. Nicole also shares a physician-referral playbook, a “waitlist strategy” you can run this week, and a simple end-of-year review approach to double down on what’s working and cut the rest. Main Topics Discussed Nicole’s origin story: from solo practice to 55 clinicians, then selling the practice (00:39)Why practice growth feels harder right now and how coaching strategies have shifted (02:12)Social media reality check, and what tends to convert faster than “content” (03:00)Lead sources: SEO vs Google Ads vs optimizing your Google Business Profile (06:17)Email marketing, consult calls, and the follow-up process most clinicians skip (07:32)Handling “I want to see the owner” and positioning the team-based model (08:15)Hiring an admin early and making the role revenue-generating through follow-ups (09:50)Physician referral strategy: scripts, getting into the EMR, and progress reports (27:27)End-of-year review: referral data, focus, and the 80/20 clean-up (35:48)December planning: clinician vacation coverage and PTO cashflow surprises (38:20)The “waitlist strategy” for warm referrals from therapists who can’t take new clients (41:17) Cool Things Mentioned The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consultingReverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologistsNicole’s website: www.mccancemethod.comThe Business Savvy Therapist podcast: www.mccancemethod.com/podcastNicole on Instagram: www.instagram.com/nicole.mccancemethodFree masterclass (How to Build a 7-Figure Group Practice): www.mccancemethod.com/webinar-free-masterclass-from-solo-to-superteamGoogle Business Profile: www.google.com/businessGoogle Business Profile Help: support.google.com/businessPsychology Today therapist directory: www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapistsIndeed employer hiring platform: www.indeed.com/hireSimplePractice: www.simplepractice.comTherapyNotes: www.therapynotes.comJane App (practice management): www.jane.appCanada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL): ised-isde.canada.ca/site/canada-anti-spam-legislation/en Featured Resources I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!

    546.Business Trends in Assessment for 2026
    Dec 30 2025
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I break down what I believe are the most important business trends shaping assessment practices in 2026. Rather than focusing on vague predictions or generic AI hype, I zero in on the operational, regulatory, and payer-driven forces that are already creating friction for assessment-focused psychologists. My central argument is that 2026 will not be a “breakthrough” year. It will be a friction year, where practices succeed or struggle based on how clearly they can justify, document, and defend their work. I walk through how insurance pressures, prior authorization, AI governance, workforce scarcity, and shifting expectations around comprehensive batteries are converging, and what practical steps assessment clinicians can take now to stay viable, ethical, and sustainable. Main Topics Discussed Why 2026 is a “friction year,” not a breakthrough year (00:01)The unifying trend: auditability, justification, and traceability across systems (02:23)Efficiency adjustments and why integration work matters more than test administration (03:00)Auditing CPT code mix and aligning documentation with payer values (04:45)Prior authorization becomes more structured—and less forgiving (05:30)Building repeatable medical necessity language and pre-auth workflows (07:07)Payers tightening testing policies and eliminating “neutral” practice models (08:30)Choosing explicitly between insurance-first, hybrid, or cash-pay models (09:28)AI’s shift from convenience tool to governance and risk issue (10:30)Clinicians moving from “writer” to “editor” roles with AI-assisted workflows (11:38)State-level healthcare AI laws and the need for internal AI policies (12:30)Validity and defensibility becoming built-in, not optional (13:45)Rethinking over-testing and defining a minimum defensible data set (14:01)Hybrid assessment models and redesigning physical office space (15:00)Workforce scarcity and choosing between boutique vs scalable models (17:30)The controversial take: rethinking the default comprehensive battery (18:53)Why auditability—not tools—is the real work of 2026 (20:00) Cool Things Mentioned The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consultingReverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologistsCMS Prior Authorization and Interoperability Rule overview: https://www.cms.gov/priorities/key-initiatives/burden-reduction/prior-authorizationAPA guidance on medical necessity and documentation: https://www.apaservices.org/practice/reimbursement/health-plans/medical-necessityAPA resources on AI and ethics in practice: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2023/07/ai-psychologyEpisode on medical necessity: https://thetestingpsychologist.com/ttp-49-medical-necessity-pre-authorization-testing-services/ Featured Resources I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!

    543. Research Review: Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Neuropsychology
    Dec 8 2025
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I take a deep dive into how natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning are beginning to reshape neuropsychological assessment. Beyond the surface-level hype around AI, I explore what’s actually happening under the hood: how speech, language, and narrative data can function as digital biomarkers for conditions like ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, and psychosis. Drawing primarily from a 2025 review in The Clinical Neuropsychologist, I walk through emerging research, practical implications for clinicians, and the ethical and methodological challenges we’ll need to confront as these tools move closer to real-world clinical use. Main Topics Covered 00:00: Why NLP and machine learning matter for neuropsychology right now02:15: Defining NLP, digital biomarkers, and what clinicians usually discard04:40: How linguistic, acoustic, and semantic features are analyzed06:30: ADHD applications: narrative coherence and executive functioning08:55: Alzheimer’s and MCI: voice biomarkers vs. traditional measures11:30: Task design and why speech prompts matter12:45: Psychosis and schizophrenia: quantifying disorganized speech15:30: Clinical tools, ambient AI, and the “human-in-the-loop” model17:45: Bias, privacy, test security, and ethical risks19:55: The future of neuropsych assessment and hybrid AI models Cool Things Mentioned The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consultingReverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologistsBrittany Wolff’s source article: https://doi.org/10.1080/13854046.2025.2547934 Featured Resources I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!

    539. Cut Your Report Writing Time in Half
    Nov 20 2025
    Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. In this episode, I tackle one of the most time-consuming challenges in assessment psychology: report writing. I explore why many psychologists spend 5–30+ hours per report creating comprehensive documents that research suggests referral sources aren’t fully reading, and offer a data-driven roadmap for reclaiming that time without sacrificing clinical integrity. Drawing on stakeholder surveys and readability research, I challenge the field’s ingrained belief that quantity equals quality, and make the case that conciseness is actually a mark of clinical expertise. I share practical tactics, from modular templates and voice dictation to AI tools like Reverb (which I co-founded), while addressing the mindset shifts, ethical considerations, and philosophical questions that make this transition so difficult for many practitioners. Main Topics Covered 00:00 Introduction to Report Writing Challenges02:53 Understanding the Time Investment in Report Writing05:46 Core Principles for Efficient Report Writing09:12 Tactics to Cut Writing Time12:00 Mindset Shift in Report Writing14:47 Ethics and Liability in Report Writing18:08 Tools and Technology for Report Writing21:07 Philosophical Reflections on Time Management24:13 Conclusion and Call to Action Cool Things Mentioned CRAFT: The Membership Community for Testing PsychologistsReverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists Featured Resources I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!
