Neuropsychology in Salt Lake City
A neuropsychologist specializes in understanding the relationship between the brain and behavior. At Comprehensive Psychological Services, our doctoral-level psychologists administer standardized tests that measure memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and executive functioning (the mental processes that help you plan, focus, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks). This page is for individuals or families seeking a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation in Utah.
Neuropsychological evaluations help diagnose conditions like ADHD, traumatic brain injury, dementia, learning disabilities, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Results guide treatment planning, academic accommodations, workplace modifications, and legal proceedings.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP — a structured treatment program involving several hours of therapy per week) offers additional support for patients who need more than weekly therapy.
