Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Sandy, UT

I am an LCSW. I am a trauma and neurodivergent-informed therapist that specializes in EMDR and DBT. I am good at building relationships with clients and helping them feel safe. I use humor and direct communication to overcome barriers with clients. I use things like art, culture, media, etc. to reach clients where they are at. I am non-binary and work on LGBT issues with clients. I am also a person of color, so I work with cultural trauma.

Life is about maintaining balance in all aspects, through love. There is so much out there to learn and grow from, so why not have fun doing it? A little about me: I love going to CrossFit every morning. I am a huge nerd, constantly listening to audibles and/or podcasts such as Huberman Lab and non-fiction books. I enjoy being outdoors: snowboarding, motorcycle/dirt biking, hiking, any movement &traveling. My parents are from Peru, so I visit there often. Tambien hablo español! Therapy can help your understanding of where your emotions come from connecting the past to the present, and decreasing the intensity by making sense of it.

Currently, I am offering tele-health sessions only, with availability M-TH from 9:00am to 2:30pm. I am unable to offer appointments outside of these hours. If that works for you, let me know if you’re interested in booking a session, or if you’d prefer to start with a brief 10-15 minute phone consultation!

Compassionate, Goal-Oriented Care for Trauma & Mental Health

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. With over 20 years of experience, I take a goal-oriented, intensive, and patient-directed approach to therapy, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, and Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) to help clients reclaim their lives.

I have extensive experience working with veterans, law enforcement, and individuals navigating complex trauma, as well as those dealing with functional neurological disorders, chronic pain, and severe anxiety or depression. My practice offers structured treatment programs, including EMDR intensives, pain management programs, and immersive healing experiences tailored to your unique needs.

I believe in the deep connection between the mind and body and incorporate physical movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques into my work when beneficial. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I provide a direct yet compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience and recovery.

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 have been a SW for 29 years. I received my bachelors of social work from Southern University and A&M College and my masters of social work from Southern at New Orleans.

PRN work included working in MH/SA, hospitals, hospice and school SW. I am a TBRI Pract. & adoption competent. I help people who seek help! I retired from DCFS on 01/21/2026.
