Hello! I'm Dr. Catherine (Cassie) Baird, a licensed clinical psychologist serving adults in Wisconsin and New York. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel comfortable discussing whatever has brought you to therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted, and I work collaboratively with each client to develop practical strategies that fit their unique needs and goals.
My professional background spans integrated primary care, correctional mental health, forensic psychology, and psychological assessment, giving me experience working with people from many different walks of life and with a wide range of mental health concerns. I recently provided behavioral health services within an internal medicine clinic at the University of Wisconsin, where I worked closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to help patients navigate the connection between mental and physical health. I also supervised medical students and enjoy mentoring the next generation of healthcare providers.
I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual and have experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. Whether you're coping with a new diagnosis, feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, or simply looking for support and personal growth, I strive to provide care that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the latest psychological research.
Seeking therapy is a meaningful step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they build resilience, gain insight, and create lasting change. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you move toward the life you want to live.
Hello, and welcome! I'm glad you're here. I'm a counseling psychologist with more than 10 years of experience providing therapy and psychological assessment. Although my training is broad, I have dedicated much of my career to working with individuals from underserved communities and those whose identities have been marginalized or stigmatized. I have particular expertise supporting LGBTQ+ adults, including transgender and nonbinary individuals, and I strive to create a space where every client feels respected, understood, and able to show up as their authentic self.
I believe that both therapy and assessment have the potential to be deeply meaningful experiences. My role is not simply to gather information or provide answers, but to work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, and help you leave with greater clarity and self-understanding.
My name is Kati Niekerk and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in Madison, Wisconsin. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. My aim is to help clients identify their values and goals, and then create a plan to help them get closer to those values and goals. I use CBT and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves and their environments, and DBT to build the skills needed to live as the best versions of themselves.
Hello and welcome! My name is Kweku Amoasi-Smith. I currently live in Milwaukee County and am licensed in Wisconsin. My goal is to partner with you, helping you find resilience and uncover strengths as we complete your assessment. Every person's journey is unique, and I am committed to competent care for you.
Welcome, and thank you for taking a moment to learn more about me. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Wisconsin, and I bring together my clinical training, experience in higher education, and commitment to culturally responsive, affirming care in my work with clients.As a Latina and bilingual professional, I am deeply aware of how culture, identity, language, and lived experience shape the way people understand themselves and move through the world. These perspectives are central to how I practice and how I show up in the therapy and assessment space.My background includes higher education as an educator and administrator, where I support diverse student populations and contributed to training and program development focused on clinical competence and equity in care. These experiences continue to inform my clinical lens, especially my passion for neurodiversity-affirming work and supporting individuals who have often felt misunderstood in traditional systems.I am committed to creating a space where clients feel welcomed, respected, and fully seen in their complexity, while also being supported in identifying strengths, understanding patterns, and working toward meaningful goals.
