Finding the right support for learning or attention concerns can feel overwhelming, but having a knowledgeable professional close to home makes a real difference. Dr. Annette Michelle Soltys is a registered psychologist based in North Vancouver, BC, practicing at a clinic conveniently located on Marine Drive near the heart of the Lower Lonsdale area. The practice is currently accepting new clients, which means families and individuals who have been waiting for answers can take a meaningful next step.

Dr. Soltys specializes in psychoeducational assessments, a process designed to help children, adolescents, and adults better understand how they learn, process information, and manage attention. These assessments are often sought when someone is struggling in school or at work and wants a clearer picture of what is happening. A thorough psychoeducational evaluation can identify learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and other cognitive or academic challenges that may have gone unrecognized for years.

When you reach out to the clinic, you can expect an initial conversation about your concerns and what the assessment process involves. The evaluation itself typically includes standardized testing, clinical interviews, and a review of relevant background information. Once the assessment is complete, Dr. Soltys provides a detailed report outlining her findings along with practical recommendations. These recommendations can support access to accommodations at school or work and help guide next steps in treatment or intervention planning.

ADHD assessments are a particular focus of the practice. Many people arrive unsure whether their difficulties with focus, organization, or impulsivity reflect ADHD or something else entirely. A proper psychological assessment brings clarity, and that clarity matters for making informed decisions about support strategies, whether or not medication is part of the picture.

The clinic is located at 700 Marine Drive in North Vancouver, easily reachable from communities across the North Shore, including Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, and West Vancouver. To book an appointment or ask questions about the assessment process, you can reach the practice by phone at 604.227.4764. Taking that first call is often the step that sets everything else in motion, and the practice is ready to help you move forward with confidence.
