Beacon Psychology Clinic has been supporting children and families in Port Moody for over 10 years, known for practical, evidence-based care that actually helps kids thrive. If you want a child psychologist who listens first and plans second, this is the clinic I’d recommend. Their office is warm and child-friendly, with play-based assessment spaces and a sensory corner, making appointments less intimidating for younger clients.

They offer a range of services tailored to childhood and adolescent needs. Expect assessments for ADHD, autism, learning differences and anxiety, with full psychoeducational reports suitable for school planning and IEP meetings. They provide individual therapy using cognitive behavioural therapy, play therapy and parent-child interaction therapy. For families seeking measurable progress, Beacon runs group skills sessions, social skills clubs and school consultation. The clinic also conducts standardised testing (WISC-V, WIAT-III) and functional behaviour assessments, plus written plans teachers can use right away.

What sets them apart is how they work, not just what they list. Appointments usually start with a thorough intake and observation, then a tailored plan with clear goals and timelines. Therapists include registered clinical psychologists and supervised doctoral candidates, many with additional training in trauma-informed care and child development. Reports are practical, usually 10 to 20 pages, with takeaway recommendations and strategies parents can use that week. They often follow up with schools by phone or email to ensure supports are implemented.

Port Moody families choose Beacon because the clinic combines clinical rigour with neighbourhood warmth. They collaborate with paediatricians, speech-language pathologists and school teams, so support feels coordinated. Parents say they appreciate timely appointments and easy-to-understand reports. For child-focused psychological services in Port Moody, Beacon is a reliable local resource.
