Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Salt Lake City, UT covered by Cigna

Hi, I’m Sarah Stewart, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Pelorus Point — a practice dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence. I am licensed in Florida, Idaho, Utah, and North Dakota, and bring over 11 years of clinical experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples.

My background includes a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and ongoing doctoral studies in Psychology, where my research focuses on language, identity, and inclusive mental health practices. My approach to therapy is eclectic and collaborative, blending elements of psychodynamic, narrative, and mindfulness-based work to create a space that fits you rather than forcing you into a specific model.

I specialize in working with clients navigating ADHD, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, gender identity exploration, religious trauma, and relationship issues. My style is direct, grounded, and compassionate — I’m not afraid to challenge unhelpful patterns, but I always do so with respect and curiosity.

At Pelorus Point, my mission is simple: to help you find your true north — to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels authentic and meaningful.

I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.

You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!

Many high-performing adults are used to being the one others depend on. From the outside, life may look successful and put together, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or constantly questioning yourself despite your accomplishments.

I specialize in working with professionals, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are balancing demanding careers, relationships, parenting, and personal expectations while struggling with anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, or stress that never fully seems to shut off. Many of my clients are successful professionally but find themselves struggling to feel fully present at home, connected in relationships, or able to truly slow their mind down.

I also work with adults navigating depression, major life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and the pressure of trying to manage everything while continuing to perform at a high level. Often, the same strengths that help people succeed professionally can also contribute to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like they always need to stay in control.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or simply “talking about feelings.” It is a practical, supportive, and collaborative process focused on helping you better understand yourself, improve emotional awareness, manage stress more effectively, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded and confident in both your personal and professional life.

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist who offers a grounded, supportive, and gentle space that welcomes all individuals to slowly explore their inner experience. It is truly an honor to do this work, and I hold deep respect for the therapeutic process. I am personable and nurturing, walking alongside clients through life’s inevitable shifts and transitions. I see myself as a beacon, here to help others remember, cultivate, and nurture their natural goodness or Buddha nature. I love working with individuals, couples, teens, and families, and value supporting people across the full spectrum of life’s journey.
