In this episode, we’re speaking with Dr. Anna Dinoto, a neurodivergent psychologist with a decades-long career spanning clinical, forensic, and neurodiverse care—and the courage to break free from outdated industry models.

Anna built a group practice in the early days of ABA therapy, only to realize she was carrying a broken business model that didn’t serve her, her team, or her values. 

This episode is a thoughtful, unflinching look at growth, rupture, and repair—and you absolutely won’t want to miss it. 

 

In this episode, Anna shares:

The early industry dynamics that pushed her into group practice (and why it worked… until it didn’t);

How she navigated ethical tensions and staff resentment in a bloated insurance-dependent business;

What she learned from managing employee expectations about money and power;

Why she walked away—and how her new model reflects her values;

The difference between real clinical mastery and martyrdom in leadership.
