When a psychiatrist joins a friend group known for raised voices, decade-long grudges, and dinners that explode before appetizers even hit the table, you might assume she'd stay neutral. Smile. Nod. Observe quietly. Not Dr. Mimi Sanders.
One of the newest faces on Married to Medicine didn't come to play referee — but she's also not pretending she doesn't see what's happening right in front of her. And as it turns out, being trained to read behavior for a living makes reality TV arguments look … very transparent. Let's just say: some of the aunties might not love having a psychiatrist in the room.
We got the chance to catch up with Dr. Mimi to talk all about group dynamics, who's not listening when others speak, and more.
Dr. Mimi says "accountability hates to see a psychiatrist coming"

Mimi laughed when I asked how her career changes the way she handles conflict. Then she dropped the most accurate line of the season.
"So a psychiatrist, I say accountability hates to see a psychiatrist coming," she said. "Because I think innately, if I see that you're not holding your own stuff, that I'm going to call it out. And I don't care who it is."
Not exactly the energy you want around when you're trying to dodge responsibility. But before anyone starts accusing her of diagnosing castmates mid-cocktail, Mimi shut that down fast.
"Some of the ladies believe I'm psychoanalyzing," she joked. "No, that costs money. And I'm not sending out invoices, okay? I'm just showing up as a friend."
Translation: therapy isn't free — but common sense is. Fair enough.
Toya Bush-Harris is the "hardest to mediate" on Married to Medicine
Throughout the season, viewers watched Mimi naturally drift into mediator mode. Not because she wanted to — but because nobody else was slowing down enough to actually listen.
"I think a good friend, that's what they do," she explained. "If you have two good friends that are not seeing eye to eye … a good friend is like, 'What can I do to help?'"
Still, she had to remind herself not to overstep.
"There are moments where I'm like, hey, I know how to resolve this conflict," she said. "But I need to step back and say, you guys are big girls. You can do it yourself."
When asked point-blank who tests her patience the most during disagreements, Mimi didn't hesitate.

"The hardest to mediate was Toya [Bush-Harris]," she said. "She doesn't listen to anybody. She's just here to just talk and over talk."
If you've ever tried to resolve something with someone who won't stop talking long enough to hear the other side, you already know the struggle.
It's less "conflict resolution" and more "verbal dodgeball."

At one point, Mimi found herself literally sandwiched between Quad Webb and Dr. Simone Whitmore during an argument — which sounds like an Olympic sport no one signed up for.
"Quad, she's going to give you a story. And she's going to go on and on," Mimi said. "And Simone is very loud."
So imagine this: One person delivering a five-minute monologue. The other raising her voice to compete. Both talking at the same time.
"We're trying to mediate the long story, a loud story, over talking. And it's a lot going on," she said.
A lot is putting it gently. Still, Mimi insists she kept her cool.
"I think I handled it with class. I handled it the best I could."
Which, frankly, deserves a medal.
