I talk to a lot of folks during my consulting meetings and coaching groups who are interested in offering an evaluation “menu” in their testing practices. Typically this takes the form of “brief” evaluations answering a specific referral question like, “Does this client have ADHD?” I don’t like this approach, and today I’m digging into research on consumer preferences to explain why. If you’ve ever considered different tiers or “add-ons” for your evals, this is the episode for you!

    About Dr. Jeremy Sharp

    I’m a licensed psychologist and Clinical Director at the Colorado Center for Assessment & Counseling, a private practice that I founded in 2009 and have grown to over 20 clinicians. 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.
