Doctor John Hendleman is a Psychiatrist with Better Balance Psychiatry specializing in mental health treatment in Utah and Texas via Telepsychiatry.

Better Balance now offers a cognitive assessment. As part of TMS therapy it is standard practice to objectively check up on areas such as memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal ability—all cognitive abilities you need to function optimally in everyday life. We offer this assessment through CBS Health. It’s not a test—it’s a quick checkup on how you’re doing today, like a blood pressure cuff for your brain.
