Bridget Schumann

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


My experience as a social worker, herbalist, and therapist has convinced me of the following about humans:

  • we thrive on connection
  • our bodies are trying to tell us what we need, we just need to learn how to listen
  • connecting to nature is paramount to a high-quality, lasting healing journey
  • we ALL can experience joy and live in our highest being

My background/focuses in integrative mental health (connecting the mind and body's wellness), trauma work, nature therapy, and spirituality guide our work together. I love working with folks who are ready to dive a little deeper, find purpose and meaning in life, and rewrite their story.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Saint Paul

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.
