MADELIN PEPPER

Meet Madelin, a warm and compassionate member of our team here at Roots & Branches. Currently pursuing her Masters in Social Work at Utah Valley University, Madelin is thrilled to be part of our practice as an intern. While she may be new to Roots & Branches, she's no stranger to the world of counseling, having two years of valuable experience in crisis intervention counseling, with a specific focus on helping individuals who have faced sexual trauma.

Madelin also serves as an academic advisor at UVU, guiding undergraduates as they embark on their college journey. Whether it's helping them troubleshoot challenges or assisting them in achieving their academic goals, Madelin is there every step of the way. Her own educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice.

Madelin's true passion lies in working with women, couples, and adolescents. She's dedicated to expanding her knowledge in therapeutic modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, all in the service of her clients' well-being.

Before joining us at Roots & Branches, Madelin spent several years at The Refuge, where she provided invaluable counseling to high-risk women dealing with sexual trauma, abuse, and various mental health issues. During this time, she honed her foundational clinical skills, which she continues to build upon under the guidance of our clinical director, Laura Parry.

Beyond her professional life, Madelin finds joy in spending quality time with her husband, friends, family, and two beloved cats. She also has a creative side, with a penchant for cross-stitching and a deep appreciation for the great outdoors. Despite being a California girl at heart, she's made Utah her home since 2015.

Madelin understands that taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, but she wants you to know that the journey is always worth it. If you're considering therapy with Madelin, don't hesitate to reach out. You can schedule an appointment by emailing hello@rootsbrancheswellness.com.
