Roxann Pazdera

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • Green Bay, WI


Hello, I'm so happy you found me! I'm Roxann Pazdera, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of Birch Grove Family Therapy. Whether your family is navigating emotional challenges, behavioral concerns, family conflict, or the aftermath of a mental health crisis, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where healing and growth can occur. I truly strive to meet you where you are. I believe that healing begins with feeling safe, supported, and truly understood. My goal is to help you gain insight, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change without fear of judgement.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families experiencing difficulties related to emotional regulation, attachment, anxiety, family relationships, and transitions following higher levels of care. I am particularly passionate about helping caregivers better understand their children's emotional needs while strengthening relationships.

I am drawn to this work because I’m a parent myself. My areas of interest grew from recognizing the need for stronger family support services and more accessible step-down care for children and teens following inpatient or other high-acuity treatment. My practice is intentionally small so I can provide personalized, high-quality care.

La Shanda Tolefree

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I believe that healing begins the moment you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a therapist, my heart is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pressure, just honesty and compassion. What sets me apart is my ability to listen beyond the words. I pay attention to your story, your emotions, your patterns, and even the things you don’t always know how to express.

I have over 24 years of experience working with a broad range of individuals and families of diverse cultural and economic populations. I've provided treatment to individuals with addictions, behavioral and mental health challenges. I don’t treat people with a one-size-fits-all approach. I honor your uniqueness. I take the time to understand your background, your experiences, and the goals that truly matter to you. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover the root of what you’re facing, not just the symptoms on the surface.

In our work together, I focus on helping you gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and discover healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. I’ll support you, encourage you, and at times gently challenge you—because your growth matters. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity issues, or simply feeling stuck, I will help you identify what’s holding you back and empower you to move toward the person you were created to be.

My passion is helping people heal, grow, and thrive. I believe change is possible, hope is real, and your life has value and purpose. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward emotional freedom and wholeness, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

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 Appleton

Searching for therapists in Appleton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations they work with. A bio that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy can help you understand how a therapist may structure sessions.

In a smaller city like Appleton, local in-person openings may be more limited than in larger Wisconsin markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Wisconsin. As you narrow your search, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what a first session may involve.

Therapy in Appleton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for Appleton counseling options by insurance, availability, specialty, and virtual or in-person format. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you find a therapist in Appleton, WI who fits your needs.
