Psychotherapy Practice – Moontree Psychotherapy Center
Moontree Psychotherapy Center is a Madison, Wisconsin counseling practice serving individuals, couples, and families. The center operates as a collective of independent licensed therapists committed to providing mental health services to clients from diverse backgrounds across the greater Madison community.
The clinical team includes four staff therapists: Dale Decker (LCSW), Rita Hockers (LCSW), Libby Reeder (LMFT), and Cindy Rosner (LCSW). Thirteen associates also provide services at the center: Abbey Scherer (LPC), Amanda Lightner (ATR-BC, LPC), Barb Knutson (MS, LPC), Becca Gebhart (LCSW), Carol Nickles (LCSW), Cindy Richgels (LCSW), Colleen Kolb (LMFT), Dave Krych (LCSW), Emily Barrett (LCSW), Emily Mertens (LMFT), Julita Jankowska (LPC), Kyra Beckman (LMFT), and Merija Eisen (LMFT). Credentials across the team span licensed clinical social work, licensed marriage and family therapy, professional counseling, and art therapy board certification, giving clients access to a broad range of clinical specializations.
The center’s stated clinical philosophy emphasizes a holistic approach to healing, described as addressing the entire person encompassing mind, body, and spirit. Clinicians work collaboratively with each client to identify individual needs and select appropriate therapeutic directions. Clinical issues addressed at the practice include depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and spiritual reconnection. Art therapy, provided by Amanda Lightner who holds the ATR-BC board certification, represents a specialized modality available within the collective.
Individual staff profile pages are hosted on the center’s website, allowing prospective clients to review clinician backgrounds and areas of focus before scheduling. The site also hosts client-facing forms, a Notice of Privacy Practices, and COVID-19 policy information.
Specific session formats, accepted insurance plans, fee schedules, and year of establishment are not detailed in the reviewed homepage content. The collective model, in which independent licensed therapists work under a shared organizational identity, allows the center to offer a wider range of specializations than a solo practice while maintaining individualized clinical relationships with each clinician.
