Therapist

My name is Kati Niekerk and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in Madison, Wisconsin. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. My aim is to help clients identify their values and goals, and then create a plan to help them get closer to those values and goals. I use CBT and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves and their environments, and DBT to build the skills needed to live as the best versions of themselves.

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.
