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.
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.

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.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Saint Paul
Searching for postpartum therapists in Saint Paul starts with finding someone who has experience with the concerns that can come up after birth. Postpartum support can include postpartum depression therapy, counseling for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health or credentials like PMH-C, which can signal specialized training in pregnancy and postpartum care.
Saint Paul has a steady network of mental health therapists, and the right fit may depend on both specialty and logistics. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, feeding schedules, or changing routines. Virtual therapy can expand your options when getting to an office is harder, while in-person sessions may be a better fit if you prefer a dedicated space. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, postpartum experience, appointment availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Saint Paul can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to find postpartum therapists with clear profile details, so you can review bios, confirm availability and insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
