Discover the Story Beneath the Surface

At TidePools, diagnosing conditions like ADHD, autism, depression, or anxiety plays a valuable role in our assessment process—but it’s only one aspect of a much broader understanding. Our psychological evaluations offer a comprehensive and compassionate view that explores emotional, cognitive, and psychological layers to reveal the fuller landscape of you or your child.

We offer comprehensive assessments for children / adolescents and adults.

By integrating structured testing, interviews, and observations, we build a clear, holistic picture that supports meaningful growth, therapy, and personal development.
