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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Milwaukee

Finding the right therapist in Milwaukee starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or a life transition — or whether you're looking for general mental health care. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your specific needs and offers the session format you prefer, whether that's in-person or virtual.

Milwaukee has a large and varied mental health provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods like Bay View, Wauwatosa, the East Side, and West Allis. Narrowing your options can feel overwhelming when so many directories list providers who may not be accepting new patients or taking your insurance. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and style — so you can feel more confident about the fit.

Therapy in Milwaukee can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and every provider listed is accepting new patients.
