Transgender Therapists in Milwaukee, WI
As a therapist, I specialize in complex trauma, perinatal mental health, and addiction. I believe every person’s experience—especially with trauma—is unique and deserves to be met with compassion, curiosity, and care. I take a deeply person-centered and relational approach, prioritizing trust and safety before moving into deeper therapeutic work. My clients and I work collaboratively to define meaningful goals, explore what’s getting in the way, and support healing in a way that feels empowering and sustainable.

Often people learn to feel shame or guilt over parts of their identity that are core to who they are. These beliefs form an emotional pain that can destabilize our view of ourselves and the world around us, creating deeper feelings of depression and anxiety. Finding ways to navigate these beliefs and feelings is not always easy, and frequently the ways we learn to cope have additional costs that we aren't aware of. If you struggle with aspects of your identity and with the stories you have been told about them, I invite you to reach out and consult.

Asking for help is hard, and it’s when we feel heard, seen, and understood, that healing and growth are most accessible.

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 approach to psychotherapy is focused on building a strong and collaborative relationship with you, the client, working with you to provide immediate symptom relief and make sustainable change. My style is warm, curious, and engaged. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to share your story.

Our worldviews are made up of stories: about ourselves, others, the ways we engage with people, and the ways we move through the world. I'm fascinated by the mutual influence of individual perspective and shared experience, as well as the ways societal norms both limit and support individuals and relationships. How are you influencing and being influenced by others? What aspects of your story do you wish were different? How do you want to be known, and move through the world? "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer! Let's explore and see what we discover.

I specialize in working with people who have distressing thoughts, feelings, memories, or body sensations that just won't go away; find themselves avoiding or not feeling present; frequently feel on edge; and/or have beliefs that negatively influence their day-to-day life. Grief is also an area of expertise where I help others navigate life transitions, loss, and bereavement that leaves them feeling like they haven't been themselves since. Healing from the experiences that weigh heaviest should come after a sense of stability is in place. My hope is to collaboratively create a space to help you feel safe, seen, heard, and stable.
