As a board certified and licensed clinical professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. Seeking help can be a hard initial step and I am glad you are here. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship problems.
With 165+ reviews and a 4.96 rating on Zocdoc, I have specialized in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality profiles, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.
A former client called me "endlessly chill." I am known to wear more sweatshirts than more "professional" attire. I don't want to give off any energy that I am better than anyone who sits across from me. I am known to swear in sessions (but I do filter this per client).
I am accepting new clients. Please message me to set up a consultation phone call so we can discuss fit and scheduling.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist and ADHD specialist, I help individuals and couples improve their relationships and manage challenges related to communication, ADHD, parenting, and daily stress. Relationships play a big role in our well-being—they can bring closeness and joy, but also tension and disconnection. In therapy, I’ll help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, let go of what isn’t working, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections. I also support individuals in handling the demands of work, parenting, and relationships with more balance and confidence.
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!
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Minnesota
Searching for therapists in Minnesota starts with finding care that fits your needs and location. Minnesota therapists support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. Available care can vary between urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on.
Whether you’re looking for therapy in Minnesota near Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, or a smaller community, logistics can shape which therapist is the right fit. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility with scheduling. As you compare Minnesota therapists, review appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their style in their bio. Profiles can help you understand what sessions may feel like before you book.
The cost of mental health care in Minnesota varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists in Minnesota who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, making it easier to browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
