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.

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.

Chelsey Winegar

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate life's "weird left turns," from the mental game of competitive sports to the heavy landscape of grief, trauma, or a cancer diagnosis. I'm also a wife and mom who spent over a decade working in the foster care system before transitioning to the medical field and clinical work, so I understand the "everyday chaos" of being human. I've often been told I bring a unique blend of humor and compassion to the room. Whether you're a high-performer, a caregiver facing burnout, or a parents of a "tornado of feelings," I'm here to help you stop playing emotional whack-a-mole and start feeling like yourself again.
