Utah Behavior Services is Utah’s premier behavioral healthcare provider, dedicated to creating successful children and developing strong families through high-quality, evidence-based behavioral healthcare. We serve Utah families from Brigham City to St. George. We are serious about our work of providing hope and evidence-based solutions for those in crisis.

This may include but is not limited to, conducting assessments, determining goals, developing treatment plans, supervising behavior technicians, conducting parent training and whole-family intervention, responding to crises, providing case management services, collaborating with external providers such as schools, and coordinating with team members and leadership for ethical, quality service delivery. Treatment is provided in accordance with all applicable federal and Utah state regulations, UTBS policies and procedures, and according to UTBS curricula, programs, methods, and systems.
