Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Lauren Linford is a clinical psychologist passionate about helping individuals and families better understand patterns of thinking, learning, and emotional functioning.
As a primarily testing psychologist, she views assessment as more than identifying diagnoses. It is a process of answering why certain challenges exist. Dr. Linford helps clients uncover meaningful insights about their unique strengths and needs, creating a clear roadmap for treatment, accommodations, and support. She finds particular fulfillment in working with parents, helping them collaborate effectively with schools and educators so children receive the understanding and advocacy they need to thrive.
Dr. Linford primarily sees clients outside of standard business hours. Psychological testing is typically scheduled on weekends, with report feedback sessions offered during evening hours on weekdays.
Outside of work, Dr. Linford is a busy mom of four, including identical twin baby girls. When she finds a moment to herself, she enjoys reading, strength training, and skiing. She lives in South Utah County and loves the surrounding farmland, which reminds her of where she grew up in Wisconsin. She and her family are enthusiastic Green Bay Packers fans - Go Pack Go!
At Excel Psychology, Dr. Linford offers thoughtful care with a data-driven approach that helps clients better understand challenges and identify meaningful paths forward.
