Michele Crump-Hart, LCSW

My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring what has brought you to therapy and where you want to go from here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist matters.

With more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the everyday stress that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, healing from past experiences, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, we'll work together to identify meaningful goals and build practical skills that support lasting change.

Blair Nicol

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Hi I'm Blair, a licensed clinical social worker with experience in behavioral health, residential, and community-based settings. My work is rooted in a relational, intuitive approach, with a strong focus on the connection between mind and body. I care a lot about helping people reconnect, with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply drawn to nature and have led outdoor programs for adolescents around the world, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. Because of this background, I am offering walk and talk sessions in addition to virtual. I aim to be authentic, present, and genuinely curious with the people I work with.

Anita Thornton

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.

Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.

Sarah Stewart

Sarah Stewart

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


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.

Amber Stell

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Layton, UT


Hello and nice to meet you. I am a mental health therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families strengthen their connection to themselves and to others. My work centers on improving communication, deepening understanding, and creating meaningful change through authentic relationships.

With years of experience in trauma recovery, family systems, and communication dynamics, I support clients in uncovering patterns that affect how they relate and respond in their relationships. My background includes working with developmental/family of origin trauma, toxic and high conflict relationships, survivors of narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, and complex grief and loss. These experiences have shaped my understanding that healing and connection go hand in hand.

Therapist

I am passionate about people and I love being a therapist. I get excited about getting to know new clients, learning their story, unpacking it in order to gain insight into why things have become the way they are and then using this insight to then foster healing, growth, and change. Change occurs once new ways of being are identified and barriers are removed in order to try on new ways of being.
