I like to meet my clients “where they’re at”, meaning I’ll start wherever you need to. It is sacred to me that I provide a therapeutic setting where it is safe for you to be vulnerable and real- with no judgement or criticism. Within this safe space, we'll work together to find some clarity with your struggles or brokeness. "Courage is not having the strength to go on, it is going on when you don't have the strength". -Eleanor Roosevelt

I believe that peace on earth starts with peace in the home. I'm able to help adults, couples, and families find this peace by using healthy communication techniques, recognize their emotions and heal from past pain. This helps clients foster deeper connections in their relationships and within themselves. I work with couples needing support with communication, conflict resolution and gaining trust. I help parents establish loving limits with their children to help them learn while also maintaining connection. I can help clients cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and postpartum.
Hi! My name is Rosilynn and I’m a perfectly imperfect human on a journey of learning, growing, and self-evolution. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of therapy. I work with people across the lifespan who have faced complex challenges, helping them build on their strengths, process difficult experiences, and reshape the narratives that no longer serve them.
Hello! I’m Gwen Scherr, a marriage and family therapist who supports couples, families, and individuals across the lifespan who may be tired of just coping through life and are ready to move toward deeper healing and growth. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family issues, identity concerns, and the stress that can come from feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you love. Many of the people I work with want more than symptom relief — they want to feel more grounded, understood, and able to thrive in their relationships and daily lives. My goal is to offer a supportive space where you can slow down, feel seen, and begin moving toward a fuller, more authentic life!
I am a therapist who believes healing happens through clarity, compassion, and action. My approach is grounded in neuroscience, which means we do not just talk about your patterns. We learn how your brain created them and how to rewire them in real time.
You can expect a nonjudgmental space where your experience is truly seen and understood. I am warm, straightforward, and collaborative. We move at a pace that feels safe but also meaningful, with practical tools you can use outside of session to create real change in your daily life.
I work with teens, young adults, individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck in old loops such as anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns and are ready for something different. I help you understand your nervous system, build emotional regulation, and learn how to respond instead of react.
Most importantly, I am here to help you get unstuck and move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and genuinely yours.
I am a licensed psychologist with a decade of experience in treating children, couples, families, and adults. I hold a Doctorate (Psy.D) from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, a Master’s degree (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology from The Minnesota School of Professional Psychology at Argosy, and a Master’s degree in Addiction Studies from The Hazelden Betty Ford School of Addiction Studies.
My clinical journey has been shaped by diverse and enriching experiences.
If you're navigating work-life balance, stressors, and likely facing the ongoing challenges compounded by the pandemic, I am here to come alongside you as you seek healing, health and wellness. I have a special interest in serving adult-aged clients in the BIPOC community. Whether you are in college, graduate school, or a working professional, I'm taking new clients in Plymouth/Golden Valley area (NOT in Uptown) as well as telehealth at this time. Maybe you are finding yourself at a crossroads, facing a major (or minor) life change. Therapy with me will be holistic, person-centered, integrating your story as you slow down, seek clarity and pursue a conscious, welcomed change.
Taking that initial step into therapy can be daunting. Sharing your story is a vulnerable position no doubt, and I am proud of you for even making the decision to seek help. Because I know how much courage this takes, I absolutely promise to honor you and walk alongside of you as you work towards your goals in counseling. In addition to helping individuals with anxiety and depression, I am certified in dialectical behavior therapy and practice accelerated resolution therapy. I also incorporate christian counseling, sand-tray therapy, mindfulness based-therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and incorporate narrative therapy techniques.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Saint Paul
Searching for therapists in Saint Paul starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Saint Paul therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand their therapy style, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other approaches.
In a smaller city like Saint Paul, local office options may be more limited by neighborhood, schedule, or specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Minnesota. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Saint Paul can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your therapist and location. You can browse profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
