When was the last time a song truly spoke to your soul? For me, it was River by Leon Bridges, a beautiful and raw song about redemption. If you haven’t heard it, it tells the story of a man burdened by his sins, longing to reconnect with loved ones he has hurt. By the end of the song, redemption finds him. Bridges wrote it during a time of depression, drawing from his own struggles to create something deeply moving.

Why mention this on a blog for a psychologist?

Because mental health difficulties ”whether it,s guilt, shame, or frustration” can weigh us down and keep us stuck, just like the man in the song. These struggles can affect every part of our lives, making it hard to move forward.

As a parent, you might feel overwhelmed watching your child wrestle with their emotions, frustrations, or mistakes. You might be unsure how to support them or help them feel understood.

An assessment can be a turning point a moment of clarity in the chaos. It can help:

–You better understand how your mind works and why you view the world the way you do.

–Your child feel seen, understood, and fully supported in their growth.

Assessments are not just tools for understanding; they are steps on the path toward healing and peace. For some, it may be the first step. For others, it may be the next chapter in a larger journey.
