Children

Many parents have questions about the emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning of their children. The BYU Comprehensive Clinic provides a wide range of psychological testing. We provide testing or evaluations for intelligence, learning disabilities, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, personality disorders, and many other psychological or emotional disorders.

Adults

You may have questions about the emotional, behavioral, or intellectual functioning of an adult client, loved one, neighbor, or yourself. We provide testing or evaluations for intelligence, learning disabilities, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, personality disorders, and many other psychological or emotional disorders.

Neuropsychological Examinations

Neuropsychological assessments are provided to evaluate functioning across several cognitive domains, including attention, sensation and perception, visuospatial ability, motor function, language ability, and executive function. These assessments are often performed after there has been a brain insult such as brain injury from an accident, hypoxia (deprivation of adequate oxygen) at birth, strokes, etc.

Limitations

We provide a service for the community and we have a limited number of students who can do testing. As a result, we perform assessments for those who are most likely to benefit from the testing. For example, curiosity of one's IQ is not a sufficient reason to complete an assessment.We also do not perform custody evaluations, court ordered evaluations, or assessments to support a civil suit. Clients who are applying for Social Security Disability should use the licensed psychologists that the Division of Disability Services will provide.

Adolescent DBT Skills Group

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills groups are one of the most effective treatments for emotion regulation difficulties such as painful, inescapable emotions, chronic feelings of emptiness, emotions that come and go quickly, emotions that are overwhelming and hard to understand, anger management concerns, anxiety, and depression. This group will also help adolescents cope with difficulties in interpersonal relationships, learn how to tolerate distressing situations, and learn to be more present in their environment. This group is for adolescents ages 12-15 and will occur weekly on Thursday from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. It will last approximately 6 months. Each group will last 2 hours and the cost for attendance will be $15 per month. Parents will be invited to attend the last 30 minutes of group each week, but this is not required. We ask that parents attend the first hour of the very first group to discuss the logistics of the group and get some more information about what their kids will learn. Please call 801-422-7759 for more information. This group will take place at the BYU Comprehensive Clinic in room 227. We will contact group members in September with more information about the start date.
