Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.

Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.

I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

Sarah Stewart

Therapist

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.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.
