    “What are the three words that you want your website to evoke?”

    Are you a solo practitioner thinking about making the leap to a group testing practice? That’s where Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani was a few years ago, and she now has a thriving group practice in Brooklyn, New York with both therapists and neuropsychologists on staff. It was such a privilege to sit down with Mandi and talk about her journey from solo to group practice. Here are just a few things that come up during our conversation:

    • Finding your “why” as your practice grows
    • Developing confidence as you build a group practice
    • Discovering values for your practice and turning them into reality
    • How your role may shift as you move from solo practitioner to group practice owner
    • The combination of marketing techniques that worked for Mandi

    About Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani

    Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani is a clinical psychologist and the owner of Small Brooklyn Psychology, a neuro-psych assessment, and therapy group practice in Brooklyn, NY. Mandi got her Ph.D. from Suffolk University in Boston and then started her career in clinical neuroscience research at NYU, investigating the neuropsychological correlates of serious mental illness, aggression, and family violence. When she realized she didn’t want grant applications hanging over her head for the rest of her career, she decided to return to clinical work and opened a solo neuropsychological assessment practice in 2013. She expanded the testing practice to a group in 2018 and then added evidence-based therapy in 2019. The practice is now a thriving team of 7 clinicians who provide high-quality care to people of all ages but have a special focus on kids, teens, and parents.

    Y’all, I cannot believe that we’ve hit 200 episodes! What an incredible trip. This episode is a little departure from normal…instead of me interviewing someone or monologuing on a business topic, I’ve invited my friend and colleague, Dr. Andres Chou, to interview ME. It’s a true gift to have this broad conversation with Andres. These are just a few things we talk about:

    • Why psychology?
    • Motivations to start a private practice
    • Thoughts on gun violence and racial injustice
    • Future directions for my practice and the Testing Psychologist brand
