Gwen Bobst, LAPC
Gwen is warm, approachable, and genuinely compassionate. She meets clients where they are and helps them feel heard and understood. With kindness and practical guidance, Gwen works collaboratively to create a safe space for healing and to build skills that restore connection, calm, and confidence. Gwen primarily supports teens and adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, or relationship challenges. She also sees children age 10 and up on a case-by-case basis.
Many people who come to Gwen are exhausted from overthinking, walking on eggshells in relationships, replaying conversations in their heads, or feeling emotionally shut down and disconnected. Others are coping with panic attacks, irritability, low motivation, sleep disruption, or the lingering effects of childhood trauma. Gwen also helps clients who are trapped in people-pleasing habits, struggle to set boundaries, or wrestle with feeling “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
She provides trauma-informed therapy with a steady, grounded presence. Gwendolyn helps clients make sense of why their nervous system reacts the way it does — whether that shows up as anxiety, shutdown, reactivity, or self-doubt — and supports them in building practical tools to feel more regulated and confident in everyday life.
Her style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and focused on real change — not just insight. Together, she and her clients work to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, process unresolved trauma, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels more manageable, connected, and aligned with who they actually are!
Gwen joined the Integrate team in 2026 and has experience working with clients in complex situations where vulnerability and trust didn’t come easily. She has a steady, grounded presence and an ability to build rapport even when clients feel nervous, resistant, or unsure about being in therapy at all. She received her master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Capella University.
She approaches difficult conversations with directness, empathy, warmth, and respect — balancing compassion with clear boundaries. Clients often appreciate that she doesn’t overreact, shame, or avoid hard topics. Instead, she creates a space where honesty is possible, accountability is supported, and meaningful change can begin.
