Medication Management Staff

Brad Workman, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Brad has spent his working life helping people find peace & happiness in outpatient clinics like ours. Brad has joined with Ascend Counseling & Wellness because he believes that mental health and physical fitness includes more than just medication management. He sees each client as a unique individual that has specific needs to be addressed. Before prescribing any type of treatment plan he will get to know you and discover your unique needs. After this initial interview Brad works with you and any other providers on your Ascend Counseling & Wellness Treatment team. This therapy & medication management integrated approach to medicine will create a secure pathway that will work for your unique experience toward peace and tranquility.

Brad Workman has been blessed to work with the full life span of clients. I’ve spent my career working with individuals and families suffering with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, I can assist families with a chronic mentally ill person in their midst, and I am experienced with assisting a team with clients presenting with a personality disorder.

I use a solid holistic approach to mental and physical health. I am excited to share some of my ideas with you. If you believe I can be of assistance to you and your family please give us a call at Ascend Counseling & Wellness.  We have offices in St George, Hurricane, Kanab, Cedar City, Mesquite Nevada, and Delta Utah. We can do Tele-health if you are not near one of our several clinics.

Taylor Remer, RN, BSN, DNP-S

I have worked in many healthcare settings, including a nursing home, the medical surgical floor, the intensive care unit, and the cancer center/IV clinic. These experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective on health. Over the last 5 years, I have developed a passion for mental health, through my personal mental health experiences, along with family and friends’ experiences. I am able to empathize and understand what a journey mental health is, but also understand that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I want to help you achieve that.

I am excited to join the Ascend team to help take care of your mental health needs. I have been a nurse for over 11 years and am currently enrolled at the University of Utah, where I am pursuing my Doctorate in Nursing Practice to become a Nurse Practitioner. I am set to graduate in May 2024. I am finishing my residency hours under Bradley Workman, APRN.

I have an amazing husband, and 3 beautiful children. They are my world. My oldest 2 children are on the autism spectrum, so autism advocacy and educating the world about the beauty of autism is very important to me. We live on a farm/homestead and love spending time outside with our many animals (goats, chickens, horses, cows, dogs etc). I spend a lot of time with my goats, whether it is milking, delivering babies, taking care of them, or just watching them play. If I have leftover hay in my hair or have a slight smell of livestock, just know it was probably because one of the animals decided to get themselves in some sort of predicament as I was leaving to head to the office.

I look forward to getting to know you and help you achieve your mental health goals!
