Dr. Christopher Jones, R.Psych., has been helping Port Moody residents make sense of life’s transitions for more than 15 years. He specialises in lifespan development, meaning he works with people at every stage, from adolescents navigating school and identity, to adults facing career and relationship shifts, to older adults adjusting to retirement and loss. What stands out is his practical, evidence-informed work style: single-session problem-solving, longer-term therapy, and neuropsychological assessment when needed.

Services are clear and concrete. Individual therapy uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and life span developmental frameworks to address anxiety, depression, grief, and career stress. He offers formal psychological assessments for attention, memory, and learning, using standardised tools such as the WAIS-IV and the Conners rating scales. For families, there are parent coaching sessions and adolescent consultations. Sessions are available in-person at his Port Moody clinic (a comfortable 1200 square foot suite with private assessment rooms) and by secure video, with appointments typically 50 to 60 minutes.

Dr. Jones’s approach is straightforward and humane. He explains assessment results in plain language, provides written summaries and practical strategies, and often gives one or two homework tasks between sessions so progress is measurable. He is registered with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia and carries professional liability insurance. If a client needs a referral for occupational therapy or speech-language assessment, he makes those connections personally, drawing on a local network of clinicians he has worked with for years.

People in Port Moody choose Dr. Jones because he blends clinical rigour with real-world practicality. He knows local schools, employers, and elder-care resources, and he spends time understanding each person’s context. To book or ask questions: lifespandevelopment.ca, phone 604-259-1236.
