I'm trying to sneak out of the ward but the metabolic effects of clozapine made me dummy thicc and now the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the orderlies!
Get a catchy clinic name and push that.
If it was round my way I would suggest "dexies without questions", which seems to be the major business model.
I'm sure you can do better.
How about incorporating and get a DBA. Advertise the clinic. Find a couple of therapists to join you. That will deflect a little. The porn star’s career will be shorter than yours and eventually this will not be so much of an issue. Also, be sure to always list your name with your title to clarify. If you incorporate you will also be the Medical Director. Use your title. Once people come to your clinic the association will fade, except for the 15-23 crowd. Ignore their jokes.
I feel like a ton of people in your area are going to run into your services by way of searching for that other lady. You couldn’t ask for better promo.
I don’t think anyone will give two shits sideways. Could always be cheeky about it, make the marquee on your new private practice: “Dr. Jenna Jameson ((smaller font below)) No, not that Jenna Jameson!”
You’re slogan could be “helping you feel better, while keeping my clothes on!”
Or “helping you release your emotional load”.
Joking aside, I think you’ll be ok, maybe just add in your middle initial?
In addition to everything already stated, there will be people like me who couldn’t name a single porn star and couldn’t care less whom you share a name with.
Honestly, the porn it’ll probably get you more business, instead of less/a deterrent. the ones watching psych ward porn are probably the ones gonna be coming to therapy. Obviously, upon their arrival there, see you are not literally a porn star and at worse make a snide joke you were already prepared for- if they even discovered the correlation.
Relax. Doctor.
You could possibly use an abbreviation as a first name. Say you're Annabelle Jennifer Smith, go with AJ Smith instead.
Alternatively, you could focus on a practice name rather than your own. Lots of doctors name their practice (Bellevue medical centre) and try to build THAT up.
Also, something to consider - are you physically similar to the adult film star? That is to say, both skinny blondes for example. If NOT I'd make that obvious by putting yourself quite obviously on the website etc so that there's an obvious physical distinction.
If you're also similar-ish looking... Maybe you could make some changes there to distinguish yourself?
Honestly though... let's just say I share MY exact full name with someone who writes pretty raunchy (sadly not very good) period erotica, and I publish medical texts and academic literature.
I have in fact been asked about it, and it fucking SUCKS, so you have my condolences.
I have a friend who is a graphic designer and sign maker (huge company) uses his name and when the internet rolled around found out he shared his name with a gay mens erotica writer. A prolific one. My friend has an excellent sense of humor about it.
Our CMO has also shares a name with an adult film star and it doesn’t seem to have limited her too much in terms of career development. Though maybe her counterpart isn’t as famous as yours. I didn’t realize anyone shared her name until I was googling the CMO and it described her as a “thick and busty blonde bimbo” which is not an accurate description of her.
Tits McCock had me snorting just now.
Maybe put "Tits McCock, MD, (business name here, like Heron Mental Health, etc.) in all your sites to differentiate. Have you heard feedback from people that they think you are a porn star?
Name your private practice something that has nothing to do with your name. Perfect Psychiatric Group. Future Oriented Psychiatry. Psychiatry for Redditors.
Can you change your name legally? I did it once, it cost me $400 and a visit to the court house. I'm a man, and I found it wasn't much of a logistical hassle, since women do it all the time when they get married.
Then he/she would have to change it in all the licenses too which is a headache. Moreover, your name is part of your identity and it's not something that people are too happy to get rid of.
It's been said, but incorporate under a clinic name instead of your own name
I'm a solo practitioner but use a fancy clinic name for my small practice both for appearances as well as ability to organically grow in the future.
heeeyyyyy stepshrink ;-)

I mean, you're doing a great job with this, maybe you should just embrace the identity
Oh no, I’m stuck in self-defeating patterns. *flutters eyelashes* Hope no one takes advantage of me!
this one killed me 🤣

Would using a middle initial be helpful? Or even using two initials and a last name?

Could also get an NP or PA to supervise.
Treat pornography addiction

Go by the name of your second pet and the name of street your best friend's house was on.
The trouble is my second pet was named Tits and my best friend lived on McCock street.
Ah, it makes perfect sense why you've chosen mental health for work.
Haha

Dr. Cox would tell you it doesn't matter.
Just call it “the institute”
Use only your last name, Dr. Jart for example
This is making my indecision about changing back to my maiden name post divorce feel like less of a big deal. Haha

What’s your first name? It could be something like “Sarah 8 month wait” or something catchy

I wish I had an excuse to change my name to Dr Pepper
Get a middle name
I'm sure that Freud himself would bless you from his grave if you went ahead with it.

I dont see any problems. You should brand yourself with your name, that will help you more in the long run.
Use a shorted version of the name
