Support for Faith Transitions

Leaving a religion or going through a faith crisis can be isolating — especially in Utah, where social and family networks are often deeply tied to the Church. These communities are specifically designed for people navigating that experience.

🧭
Mormon Mental Health Association
A directory of therapists familiar with LDS and post-LDS experiences. Useful for finding a therapist who understands the cultural context of faith transitions in Utah.
🌐
Thrive Beyond Religion
Community and resources for people in faith transitions, including support groups, podcasts, and connection with others going through the same process.

A note from Colby: If you are not in immediate crisis but have been struggling — with anxiety, OCD, a faith transition, relationship strain, or just the weight of daily life — therapy is an option that does not require things to be "bad enough." I offer a free 30-minute consultation and sliding scale fees. If you are not sure whether to reach out, that uncertainty is exactly when reaching out tends to be most useful. Get in touch here.
