Roxann Pazdera

Therapist

Virtual • 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.

My counseling style is personalized and adaptive, so we focus on what works best for you instead of a one size fits all approach. I am not very formal and we are likely going to laugh at times as we get to know each other. Together, we will talk about what brings you to therapy now, and start to outline the goals you would like to move toward in this season of your life.

We will collaborate to create realistic, meaningful goals for therapy and concrete ways to meet them that fit your life, values, and pace. I invite curiosity, questions, and feedback, and I see our work as a shared process rather than me telling you what to do. Sessions are a place where you can be fully yourself while we explore patterns and try new coping tools.

Over the years, I have worked with many different types of issues and life transitions, and I bring that broad experience into our work together. It is a true honor to walk with clients through life’s messier and more painful chapters and to witness them come out on the other side with more clarity, confidence, and relief. If you are ready to begin, I would be glad to support you.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. Finding the right therapist is important!

I work with individuals as young as 3 years old and adults. I enjoy working with all ages to support individuals throughout their journey.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, and parenting strategies, but I have extensive experience with various mental health disorders.

As a parent of two, I understand the challenges and joys of everyday life. I'd be honored to help you, your child, or your family navigate difficult times.

Therapist

Hello! I have a masters in art therapy but hold licenses to be both a professional counselor and a registered art therapist. This allows me to have a unique take on therapy. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, explore challenges at your own pace, and build the skills needed to move forward with confidence.

I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach, tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs, interests, and goals.

While I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care, I also enjoy integrating creativity and art when it feels helpful. No artistic experience is ever required—art is simply another way to express thoughts and emotions that can be difficult to put into words.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I'm committed to helping you feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools that extend beyond our sessions.

I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
