George Kayser, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Because of my educational focus, training, and world view that all humans have value, I can serve best in the following areas:

1. Couples who want to improve and repair communication, love, and intimacy,

2. Couples who struggle with perinatal mood and anxiety challenges and,

3. Engaged, newlywed, or young couples who want to create or restore a healthy marriage.

If you do not feel you belong to any of the above categories, please don’t count me out. My concern is to help you with whatever you bring to therapy. My best hope is you will believe you are capable of creating a life where your greatest desires have become a reality.

In sessions, as I listen and ask questions, we will generally strive to define the problem, establish your desired outcomes, and develop insights on how to reach them. I will provide an environment where you feel you can be honest, regardless of your background or how overwhelmed you feel. Expect to leave each session feeling more hopeful about your future.
I believe that therapy is a place for you to receive unconditional respect and I am prepared to offer you this every time we meet. If you feel prompted to begin therapy, I encourage you to call our incredible scheduling assistants for an appointment. I have open times specifically for you and would love to get to know you!

Megan Mullen, Intern Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Do you feel “stuck” in your life? I’ve felt that way on a number of occasions and my mantra has always been to keep moving forward. No matter what has happened to you or is happening to you, there is always hope and healing. I am passionate about helping people build resilience to better handle the challenges of daily life.

I received a Bachelors in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from Brigham Young University and am currently receiving a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. I have experience working with children, teens, and families. I and my husband have a very busy son and three crazy, and sometimes chill, cats. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, axe throwing, traveling, and anything adventurous.

Madi Miller, Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Having grown up always being the person people in her life turned to for guidance and support, it seemed like destiny for Madi to pursue a role in counseling. She approaches clients and situations with warmth, understanding, and absolutely zero judgement.

Madi has always viewed therapy like untangling a ball of yarn. You might feel like the separate strands of your life are mixed up together or difficult to navigate, and it’s hard to see how to untangle the knot when you’re inside of it. She is passionate about helping people work out those knots and giving them the knitting needles they need to be able to create meaning, beauty, and peace from the tangles.

Madi received her Bachelors in Marriage and Families Studies and then proceeded to receive her Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. When she’s not at work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and dog. She also loves stitching, reading, and gaming.
