Betsy Schroeder, APSW

Betsy believes therapy should be a place where people can show up as they are and feel accepted. She takes a person-centered and trauma-informed approach and works with clients to understand what is important to them and what they want for their lives.

Betsy loves being in nature and tries to bring some of that same sense of calm into therapy. She wants therapy to be a place where people can slow down, be themselves, talk through the hard things, and figure out where they want to go from here. She does not believe her job is to have all the answers. Instead, she sees herself as someone walking alongside her clients as they learn more about themselves and find what works for them. One of her favorite quotes is from Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home.” It reflects much of how she thinks about therapy and the relationships she builds with her clients.

Betsy works with adolescents ages 16 and older and adults. Her areas of interest include ADHD, autism, trauma, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. She earned her Master of Social Work in 2026 after spending several years working in the mental health field.

Outside of therapy, Betsy enjoys spending time with friends and family and finds a lot of joy in both nature and creativity. She loves hiking and traveling, but is just as happy at home with a good book or a needlework project. Reading has always been important to her, both for the simple enjoyment of a good story and because she genuinely loves learning something new. Needlework, especially cross stitch, gives her another way to slow down, create, and enjoy the process of making something by hand.

Betsy provides outpatient services virtually and in person at the Reedsburg and Waunakee offices. Betsy also provides Comprehensive Community Services to Columbia and Sauk counties.
