Counseling in Madison, Wisconsin

Megan Schroeder, MSEd, MSW

Nice to meet you! My name is Megan (she,her,hers) and I’m a clinical therapy intern at Roots Work Therapy. I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Boise State University and will be graduating in August of 2024. My role at Roots Work Therapy is to gain practical knowledge and integrate theory with clinical application in order to help my clients.

I work with neurodivergent and neurotypical clients who struggle with various mental health struggles; anxiety, depression, body image concerns and life transitions.

Through a collaborative process my clients and I will explore their current struggles, strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and cultivate self-compassion in order to promote healing.

I recognize that each person and their parts are unique to them so my approach to therapy is highly individualized based upon your needs and goals. I utilize an array of therapeutic modalities such as; DBT, SFBT, ACT, MI, IFS and Mindfulness.

As a therapist and human, I am committed to affirming the experiences of ALL individuals within the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. I actively engage in dismantling systems of oppression on various levels through advocacy, self-exploration, education/research and volunteerism.

I look forward to working with you!

What is it like to receive therapy

from a graduate level intern? 

When you begin therapy, you will be asked for your consent to have supervisor Samantha Juve observe one or more of your therapy sessions in order to support learning and to make sure our clients receive excellent care. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this!

Like many other therapy sessions, yours will typically last 50-60 minutes and you will co-create a treatment plan with your intern therapist that is tailored to your needs and based on evidence-based strategies. Supervisor Samantha Juve also has access to clinical documentation and treatment planning for quality of care.

Interns at Roots Work Therapy are students in UW Madison’s School of Social Work Master’s Degree program.

Alizah holds therapy sessions in person in Madison, WI and via telehealth
