Coastal Minds Psychology
Helping children, families, and schools navigate growth & learning
At Coastal Minds Psychology, we understand that every child is unique — full of strengths, potential, and sometimes challenges that require extra support. When a child struggles with attention, learning, emotions, or behaviour, it can leave parents feeling uncertain about the best way forward. That’s where we come in.
Our experienced team of registered psychologists and certified counsellors specializes in comprehensive psychological assessments and counselling for children, youth, and families. Whether your child is facing learning difficulties, ADHD, giftedness, anxiety, or emotional challenges, we help families gain clarity, find real solutions, and confidently move forward. Understanding is the foundation of growth. Our work is grounded in helping children understand their own minds, empowering parents with tools to support their child’s success, and bridging the gap between home and school.
We help children recognize their unique learning styles, emotions, and behaviours to develop confidence and resilience. When parents understand how their child thinks, learns, and processes the world, they feel more prepared to provide the right support. Through our assessments and counselling, we offer practical strategies that create lasting change, helping families confidently navigate challenges. We address concerns about ADHD, giftedness, and academic difficulties and offer recommendations to ensure children receive strong support in the classroom. Our goal is to make the path forward clear for children and parents so that no family has to feel lost.
Our Services:
-
Psycho-Educational Assessments
A psychoeducational assessment helps families clearly understand how their child learns, thinks, and processes information. It identifies strengths as well as areas of difficulty, providing a roadmap for targeted support at home and school. With this clarity, families can access appropriate accommodations, reduce frustration, and support their child with greater confidence and consistency.
-
Gifted Testing
Gifted assessments uncover a child’s unique strengths, helping families and educators nurture their potential with the right learning opportunities, enrichment, and support.
-
PWD / CLBC Assessments
We provide comprehensive assessments to support applications for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Designation and Community Living BC (CLBC), helping families access the resources and services their child needs.
-
Counselling
We offer counselling to support children, youth, and families in navigating challenges, building emotional resilience, and developing strategies for growth at home, in school, and in daily life.
