Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Boise, ID

Are you feeling stuck in painful patterns and looking for support that truly meets you where you are? I help adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles find steadier ground and reconnect with themselves and each other. My work is especially focused on helping people heal from hard experiences, build confidence, and create relationships that feel safe, honest, and fulfilling.

I specialize in working with individuals facing PTSD, complex trauma, substance abuse challenges, and more. I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Ohio State University College of Social Work in 2012.

I am passionate about brain and mental health. Over the years, I have built the belief that strong mental health is foundational to a successful, fulfilling life. However, I have also found there are no cookie-cutter solutions given the complexities of the human experience, thus inspiring a passion for a thorough, thoughtful, and individualized approach to brain and mental health. I earned a bachelor degree in nursing and in psychology, and a master's degree in psychiatric mental health.

I specialize in high-demand professionals, overwhelmed mothers, men's emotional health & anger management, former college athletes, and relational wellness. You might be an attorney or executive facing intense burnout, a mother caught in a constant fight-or-flight cycle, a former athlete losing your identity after competitive sports, or a man struggling with anger and communication breakdowns in your relationship.

I graduated with a Master of Arts in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark Graduate school of Education and Counseling (Portland, OR) in 2023. As a graduate student I interned at Allies in Change in Portland, OR, facilitating men’s groups and received specialized training in abuse intervention, mens issues, and anger management. My past experience makes me especially able to connect with and understand individuals in high demand careers. I am also skilled at teaching people how to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts both personal and professional.

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.

Hi, I’m Lisa Bell, and I’ve spent the last 25 years working with kids and families through some of life’s tougher moments. I enjoy supporting children between ages 3 and 12, and I work to make therapy feel safe, welcoming, and even a little fun—for both kids and parents. I bring a trauma-informed lens to my work with children (ages 3+)

and adults.

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.

My practice is rooted in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care designed to help you navigate and improve your mental well-being. I believe in a comprehensive treatment model with evidence-based medication management and tailored interventions.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and the mental health complexities of chronic medical illness. My expertise also extends to sleep disorders, stress reduction, and dual diagnosis.
