“This is really a call to action for us to respect and honor context in our work.”
Dr. Jordan Wright is back on the podcast to talk about deliberate, context-driven conceptualization in the assessment process. If you’re heard either of Jordan’s prior episodes, you know that he brings a nice blend of theory, practice, humility, and humor to our discussions, coupled with extensive knowledge and deep thinking about a variety of topics. Here are a few ideas that we discuss today:
- Why is context-driven conceptualization important?
- Examples of different contexts to consider
- Ways to assess the role of context
- The relationship between context and diagnosis

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 grew to include 12 licensed clinicians, three clinicians in training, and a full administrative staff. I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and Ph.D. 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.
