Faith & Identity Therapy

Therapy That Respects Belief, Doubt, and Personal Direction

Church Congregation Scene

Faith and identity are deeply connected. Whether you are committed to your LDS beliefs, questioning aspects of your faith, or transitioning out of the Church, Faith & Identity Therapy at Veritas Mental Health offers a supportive, respectful space to care for your mental health while honoring your personal values.

​

Our role is not to guide your beliefs. Our role is to support your emotional well-being, clarity, and sense of integrity—wherever you are in your journey.

​

What Is Faith & Identity Therapy?
​

Faith & Identity Therapy is a form of individual therapy that supports people navigating questions, changes, or stress related to faith, spirituality, values, and personal identity.

​​

​

​

​

This type of therapy may involve:

  • Exploring belief, doubt, or spiritual questions

  • Processing faith-related stress, guilt, or shame

  • Navigating identity changes connected to religion or community

  • Supporting mental health during periods of transition or uncertainty

​​

Therapy is client-led. You determine what is explored, what matters most, and the direction you want to move.

​

A Balanced Approach: Supporting LDS Belief and Faith Transitions
​

Veritas intentionally supports a wide range of faith experiences. Our therapists include:

  • LDS therapists who respect and support LDS beliefs, and

  • Therapists experienced in supporting individuals who are questioning or transitioning out of the Church

​

This allows us to thoughtfully match clients with therapists who can respect their perspective without pushing an agenda.

​

You do not need to explain, defend, or justify your beliefs, or your doubts, to receive care.

​

Common Reasons People Seek Faith & Identity Therapy
​

Clients seek Faith & Identity Therapy for many reasons, including:

​

  • Wanting therapy that respects LDS beliefs and values

  • Experiencing questions or doubts about faith

  • Navigating faith transitions within marriage or family relationships

  • Feeling guilt, fear, grief, or shame connected to religious experiences

  • Managing anxiety, depression, or identity confusion related to faith

  • Living in mixed-faith relationships or families

  • Seeking clarity without pressure to believe or disbelieve

​

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

​

How Therapy Can Help
​

In Faith & Identity Therapy, your therapist may help you:

​

  • Explore faith-related concerns in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space

  • Understand emotional responses such as grief, anger, fear, relief, or confusion

  • Clarify values that remain important to you, regardless of belief changes

  • Reduce shame and self-criticism tied to faith or doubt

  • Navigate relationship tension with spouses, parents, or extended family

  • Build emotional stability and confidence during times of uncertainty

​

Therapy focuses on mental health and personal well-being, not theological outcomes.

 
Therapist Matching That Respects Your Perspective
​

At Veritas, therapist fit matters—especially when faith and identity are involved.

When appropriate, clients may request:

​

  • A therapist who shares and supports LDS beliefs, or

  • A therapist experienced in faith transitions and post-LDS concerns

​

Our intake process is designed to honor your preferences and connect you with a therapist who can support your goals ethically and professionally.

​

Evidence-Based, Ethical Care
​

Faith & Identity Therapy at Veritas is grounded in evidence-based individual therapy approaches, including CBT, trauma-informed care, and other clinically sound models tailored to your needs.

​

Therapy focuses on:

​

  • Emotional regulation

  • Insight and self-understanding

  • Coping skills

  • Relationship health

  • Personal agency

​

We work within ethical clinical boundaries and prioritize psychological safety.

​

In-Person and Telehealth Options
​

Faith & Identity Therapy is available:

​

  • In person at our Orem office

  • Via secure telehealth for clients across Utah, Idaho, and Virginia

​​

Availability depends on therapist licensure and scheduling.

​

Taking the Next Step
​

Faith and identity questions can be complex, but you do not have to navigate them alone.

​

Whether you are seeking therapy that supports your LDS beliefs, provides space to question safely, or helps you navigate change with clarity and care, Veritas Mental Health offers respectful, professional support.
