Madelyn Childs
MFT Intern Therapist
Madelyn will now be interning at TBA
As a graduate student at National University specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy with a focus on child and adolescent development, I am passionate about helping young individuals navigate their growth and achieve their developmental milestones. Originally from Oregon, I completed my undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University-Idaho and now reside in Utah County.
I find great fulfillment in working with children and am dedicated to fostering their skills and confidence. Outside of my studies, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling to new places, reading, and expressing my creativity through music on the flute, piano, and guitar.

People are Preston’s real passion. Helping individuals overcome the obstacles that prevent them from determining their own path through life is one of Preston’s greatest pleasures.
