You're taking the first difficult step towards change by vetting therapists, and I'd be honored to join you on each of the subsequent steps. I've been a clinical therapist for 12 years and employ a variety of tools to help you meet your goals. I'm especially drawn to and skilled in working with folk in transition, whether this relates to your age (preteen, teen or adult), relationship status, identity exploration or shifting life circumstances.
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!
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.
I have worked collectively for 31 years in public safety, crisis work, training and mental/chemical health. During my 16 years in law enforcement (LE) my experiences included being a Sergeant, SWAT Team Leader, Negotiator, Critical Incident Facilitator and Trainer. My experience in LE has led me to my passion in how trauma impacts our first responders. I have used my own experience as a first responder and woman in recovery, to transcend into my current role of a mental health and chemical health therapist working with not only first responders - police, fire, military, dispatchers, front line workers and corrections officers, but also any survivor, individual struggling with LGBT issues, addiction, relational struggles or trauma. I am able to be a conduit of change, sharing the journey with those who face the everyday stressful events, trauma or finding one's true identity. We are never alone. I am here to be a safe place and safe person to share and divide your pain. I am here to honor your experiences, share your success and build your resilience and healing.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress management concerns, relationship issues, or the emotional weight of trauma and major life changes. You may be noticing overthinking, low motivation, self-doubt, communication problems, conflict in important relationships, or patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more clarity, healthier relationships, and practical tools for moving forward.
My approach is relational, compassionate, and tailored to the person in front of me. I draw from evidence-based and attachment-focused therapies to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen emotional awareness, and create more meaningful change. Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, or the effects of past experiences on your present life, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and begin building something healthier..
ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Book a FREE 15-minute consult today! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) & Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with over 17 years of experience in mental health. My work is rooted in compassion, practicality, and a belief that therapy should be an empowering journey—not a lifelong commitment. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who experience ADHD, chronic illness & mind-body disconnect. I also integrate mental health and nutrition into my approach and provide grief-informed care.
I want you to know that therapy is a safe space where you can be yourself. There’s no judgment here—just a commitment to helping you feel more in control of your life and well-being.
Hello, my name is Betsy Walter MSW, LICSW.
I use a relational approach to working with adolescence. I am easy to talk to and like to listen.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Saint Paul, MN
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Saint Paul starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care. Look for therapists who have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people with identity exploration, gender-related concerns, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. A therapist may mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with queer and trans communities in their profile. These details can help you find care that fits your needs, preferences, and lived experience.
Saint Paul has a strong mental health care community, and a good fit may be nearby, across the Twin Cities, or available virtually. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want a therapist with specific LGBTQIA+ experience, a certain background, or appointment times that work with your schedule. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new clients, how soon they have availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can show how a therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.
Therapy in Saint Paul can be a significant expense 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 search for therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer clear scheduling options. You can review profiles, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
