Roxann Pazdera

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Madison, WI

Finding therapists in Madison starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People often look for therapy in Madison, WI for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.

Madison has a wide range of therapy options, from near-campus offices to neighborhoods like Tenney-Lapham, Eastmorland, Maple Bluff, and other parts of Dane County. In-person care may work well if you prefer a local office, while virtual sessions can give you more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or commute time. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what kinds of concerns they often support.

Therapy in Madison can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare in-person or virtual availability. You can browse therapists in Madison, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
