Home » Faiths Served » Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) » Page 29

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints’ “Articles of Faith” summarize their beliefs. They have four primary principles: faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sin, and the laying of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The mental health professionals below specialize in treating members of this church.

Your religious faith is vital to you. You want a mental health professional who supports your beliefs and provides advice steeped in your faith. All Counseling’s goal is to connect the hurting to the healers, and we understand your desire to strengthen your faith and mental health simultaneously. To help you find the faith-based therapist you need, we accept profiles from various vetted counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists and we ask them to identify whether they specialize in serving those in a specific religious faith. The below list is based on those profile responses.
