Areas of Specialization
"I have been seeing Dr. Rick Roepke and it has simply been amazing. He is friendly, encouraging, professional, and most of all very effective. He has helped me place the issues in my life into a perspective that has allowed me to address them and cope with them in ways I wouldn't have thought possible. Best of all, the therapy is grounded in the teachings of Christ, allowing me to work through things within the context of my faith."
