About
Hi! I'm glad you're here. My name is Dr. Tashina VanderWoude, or "Dr. V," and I am a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed School Psychologist practicing in Texas. Completing evaluations is a true passion of mine within the field. I value the opportunity to work with individuals to help them better understand different aspects of their experiences and how they navigate the world. My approach is collaborative, with the goal of making this process one of clarity and empowerment. My hope is for you to not only walk away with answers, but with a meaningful understanding of your results and how to apply them in your everyday life.
My “why” is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to understand themselves in a way that feels accurate and affirming. I’ve worked with many individuals who spent years feeling 'different' without knowing why, and I’ve seen how impactful it can be to finally have clarity. I’m passionate about creating a space where people feel safe exploring their identity and are able to walk away with a deeper sense of self-understanding.
I take a strengths-based, affirming approach to every evaluation. I believe that understanding someone fully means recognizing not just their challenges, but also their strengths, values, and the ways they’ve adapted and thrived in their environments.Throughout the process, I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. I approach each evaluation with curiosity and compassion, working to reflect back a well-rounded picture that feels accurate and validating.
