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.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions. My background includes behavioral health, crisis intervention, child welfare, and inpatient psychiatric care, which has given me a strong foundation in helping people navigate complex and difficult situations.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself and know you won’t be judged. My goal is to create a supportive, down‐to‐earth space where we can understand what’s happening in your life, identify what you want to change, and develop practical ways to move forward.

Getting honest about what you are carrying can feel like the hardest and loneliest thing you have ever done. I work with adults, teens, and older adults who are navigating recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and the big life transitions that leave you feeling stuck. A lot of the people I see have been holding things together on the outside for a long time while quietly struggling underneath. Clients often tell me they finally feel heard and understood here, without any judgment.

Emotional exhaustion can look like functioning.

You may be the person others depend on while quietly feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. At Milton’s Place Counseling, therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, process what you are carrying, and identify practical next steps. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life transitions. You do not have to wait until you are in crisis to seek support.

If anxiety, depression, grief, or ongoing stress are making daily life feel harder, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adolescents, adults, and families who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many parents seek support when they notice changes in their teen’s mood, behavior, school functioning, or communication, while adults often come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or weighed down by life transitions and relationship stress.

Tania Brunner

Therapist

Virtual • Idaho


I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-worth, family conflict, and major life transitions.

My approach is both compassionate and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I have experience supporting clients through complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity development. I also work closely with individuals dealing with disordered eating and body image concerns, helping them develop a more balanced and trusting relationship with themselves.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and thoughtful. I will meet you with empathy while also gently challenging you when needed to help you grow.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Meridian

Searching for therapists in Meridian starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Meridian therapists, look for someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Meridian, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Idaho. You may prefer in-person counseling in Meridian, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Meridian can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Meridian, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
