Good Morning, 

I’ve always tried to be real, open and honest when I sit down and write our weekly blogs and newsletters and this week’s blog may be especially raw. I can’t recall the last time I sat down and just let pure emotion flow from my head to my paper. It was very helpful to get my thoughts out and organize them in writing because I was able to communicate them poignantly to the person who asked me for an opinion on the topic. I hope you find it helpful as well.   

Now, you’re probably wondering what has gotten me so worked up. I was recently in a situation where I felt a child and their family were not being given very good advice from other professionals. In fact, I believe their well-being wasn’t being considered at all and that does not sit well with me. At Rice Psychology Group, my team of licensed psychologists and I pride ourselves in doing everything we can to get to the root of an issue and find the solution no matter what it takes. It saddens me that there are parents who come to me wanting answers because their previous psychologist did not do the work (perhaps wouldn’t or simply did not know how). This is a huge pet peeve of mine and I have something to say! (Those who know me aren’t shocked by that.)

In this week’s blog, "Testing and Assessments - Are You Getting What You Deserve?" I give my thoughts on why many families aren’t getting the help their child needs and how Rice Psychology Group can offer a bit more hope.
