What do you need right now to make things okay? Its likely that if you knew that answer, you would not be looking for help! Life feels so frustrating or hopeless sometimes; you want to feel good but just don’t know how. It is hard to know where to start. The truth is, you already have all the answers within yourself but those answers may be hiding, obscured by fears or depression. They might be buried deep within you, just waiting to be recognized and brought forth.

Sometimes the solutions are easier to find with someone who will help you sort through all the noise to find what is true and real. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma or grief, I can help you find the path that works for you --in order-- to move forward with your life. Together, we will sort through the messiness that is life to find those pieces that make sense.

Roxann Pazdera

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hi, I'm so happy you found me! I'm Roxann, owner/psychotherapist at Birch Grove Family Therapy. I have a master's degree in social work (MSW) from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Wisconsin. I also completed a predoctoral fellowship in Infant, Early Childhood, and Family Mental Health with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Working as a Clinical Social Worker in a psychiatric inpatient hospital, and as a therapist for an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), has shown me the importance of care continuity, I offer support as you, or your loved one, transition from intensive treatment to outpatient care. I focus on maintaining progress, strengthening coping skills, and building lasting stability in everyday life.

As a parent myself, and a former Parent Educator, I also have a special passion for working with infants, young children, and families navigating early attachment, teaching emotional regulation, supporting healthy development and navigating parent-child relationship concerns.
