Ep 66 | Building a Career in Assessment with Dr. Rebecca Murray Metzger
In this episode of the Empower LEP Podcast, I sit down with my colleague and friend, Dr. Rebecca Murray Metzger, to explore the world of psychological assessment and building a group practice.
If you're a school psychologist or LEP considering a move into private practice, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
Listen in to hear all about:
- The path from school psychology to private practice
- Challenges and wins of launching a group practice
- Mentorship and supporting early-career clinicians
- The unique value LEPs bring to assessment work
Rebecca shares her journey from therapy-focused training to becoming an assessment specialist and group practice owner. We dive into the realities of leadership, the need for ongoing learning, and what it really takes to grow a team.
As someone who’s made a similar shift, I found our conversation honest, relatable, and full of practical takeaways—especially around burnout, flexibility, and community.
Tune in for a grounded, insightful conversation—and walk away with strategies you can actually use.
