Faith-Based & LDS Counseling — Therapy That Respects Your Beliefs

Faith-based counseling honors your spiritual values as part of your healing. At Connections Counseling in Orem, Murray, and online across Utah, clinicians who understand LDS culture provide warm, non-judgmental therapy for anxiety, depression, marriage, betrayal, religious shame, and scrupulosity — working alongside your beliefs, never against them. Free 30-minute consultations; insurance accepted.

Our approach

Connections Counseling is an approved provider with LDS Family Services, so members referred through their bishop or through LDS Family Services can see our therapists directly.

Our clinicians provide evidence-based therapy — for anxiety, depression, trauma (EMDR/Brainspotting), marriage (EFT), and addiction/betrayal (CSAT/CPTT) — within a faith-respecting frame. We can coordinate appropriately with your ecclesiastical leaders at your direction, help you separate healthy faith from shame-driven patterns, and support recovery and relationships without judgment.

What to expect

Start with a free 30-minute consultation to find a clinician who fits your needs and values. You set the role faith plays in your therapy; we follow your lead. Care is confidential, warm, and goal-focused.

Insurance & access

We accept Select Health, BCBS, DMBA, and EMI Health, and we'll help verify benefits. Available in Orem, Murray, and online across Utah.

Who this helps

Connections is amazing! It is so comforting to know that there is GOOD and LIFE CHANGING help out there, and that there are therapists willing to walk with you through the pain of it all rather than just nodding their heads and charging you lots of money.
