About NBCG
Utah’s most comprehensive multidisciplinary mental health practice — diagnosis, therapy, psychiatry, and advanced treatments, all under one roof.
Founded in Utah · 2012Founded in 2012 by Dr. Jennifer Cardinal, a neuropsychologist and mother of five, the Neurobehavioral Center for Growth (NBCG) began with the goal of providing competent, comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for children and families across Utah. We quickly recognized how difficult it was for patients to navigate a fragmented mental health system — getting an evaluation was only the beginning of an often frustrating journey to find the right providers.
We knew Utah families deserved something better: a single, trusted practice where every part of the care journey — from autism evaluation and ADHD testing to therapy, medication management, and advanced treatments like TMS and Spravato — could happen with one coordinated team.
Today, NBCG operates six clinic locations across Utah — Bountiful, South Ogden, Salt Lake City, Layton, Logan, and West Jordan — plus telehealth services statewide. We serve children as young as two, teenagers, and adults, with specialized programs for every stage of life.
Whether we’re supporting a mom raising a child with autism spectrum disorder, guiding a family through trauma recovery, helping a teenager manage anxiety or depression, or bringing hope to an adult living with treatment-resistant depression — it is our absolute honor to work with layered, complex, and inspiring people every single day.
Our multidisciplinary team of licensed mental health professionals in Utah includes:
Mental health care for every age and stage of life in Utah.
From toddlers showing early signs of autism to adults living with treatment-resistant depression — NBCG has a specialized path for you.

What makes NBCG different from other Utah mental health providers?
We’re one of the only practices in Utah where diagnostics, therapy, psychiatry, and advanced treatments are all available under one roof — with a team that actively collaborates on your care.
Diagnosis-first approach
Unlike practices that go straight to treatment, NBCG offers comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing to ensure your diagnosis is accurate before building your care plan. This means fewer wasted appointments and faster, more effective results.
Truly multidisciplinary — one team, one roof
Your psychologist, therapist, and psychiatrist actually talk to each other. At NBCG, your care team collaborates internally so nothing falls through the cracks — no repeated intake forms, no contradictory treatment plans, no referral runaround.
Advanced treatments other practices don’t offer
NBCG is one of very few Utah mental health practices offering TMS therapy, Spravato (esketamine), and ketamine for treatment-resistant depression alongside traditional therapy and psychiatry — all under the same roof.
6 Utah clinics + telehealth statewide
With locations in Bountiful, South Ogden, Salt Lake City, Layton, Logan, and West Jordan — plus telehealth available anywhere in Utah — getting to care has never been easier. Many services offer same-week or next-day availability.
In-network with major Utah insurance plans
We accept SelectHealth, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare, Regence, PEHP, Molina, and many others. Our intake team verifies your benefits before your first appointment so you know exactly what to expect.
Family-centered care from day one
We don’t just treat the patient — we support the whole family. From parent training sessions and school advocacy letters to sibling support and caregiver education, NBCG provides the tools your whole household needs to thrive.
Built on a legacy of clinical excellence — and unwavering heart.
NBCG was founded by Dr. Jennifer Cardinal, PhD, a nationally respected neuropsychologist whose early clinical work focused on complex neurodevelopmental diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disorders, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in children and adolescents across Utah. Her reputation for precision in differential diagnosis — and her compassionate approach to patients and families — shaped NBCG’s core philosophy.
A neuropsychologist and mother of five, Jennifer built NBCG out of an unwavering passion to help others access the kind of comprehensive, coordinated care that was previously out of reach for most Utah families. Today, her vision guides a team of over 50 licensed clinicians across six Utah locations.
That same philosophy drives our full continuum of care — from psychological testing and neuropsychological evaluations to psychiatry, therapy, ABA, and advanced treatments like TMS and Spravato — serving children, teens, and adults across Salt Lake City, Davis County, Weber County, Cache County, and beyond.
Our approach is rooted in the celebration of each individual.
Six commitments that define how NBCG shows up for every child, teen, and adult we serve across Utah.
Individualized assessment first
We offer comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing that informs a precise diagnosis — so your treatment plan is built on clarity, not guesswork. From ADHD evaluations to autism assessments and cognitive testing, every battery is customized to you.
Balanced, focused caseloads
Our experienced Utah providers maintain caseloads that allow for true specialization and meaningful support. Every patient — and every family — gets the time, depth, and attention they deserve.
Empowering parents & caregivers
We equip parents and families with the emotional, educational, and hands-on tools to extend effective behavioral and therapeutic interventions into the home — because lasting change happens beyond the clinic walls.
Accessible, human care
Our team is made up of parents, families, and real people who understand what you’re going through. We’re accessible, warm, and endlessly dedicated — and we offer same-week appointments at six Utah locations plus telehealth.
