About Us

Our Story

We are a community of like-minded counselors who put Christ at the center of everything we do.

Connecting, Sustaining, Supporting.

Mental Health: A Vital Work

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland once advised individuals worldwide to seek help when needed: “If things continue to be debilitating, seek the advice of reputable people with certified training, professional skills, and good values.”

Those who serve in these critical roles do so with great commitment. Licensed and trained professionals dedicate their time, effort, and compassion to healing and uplifting others. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we believe in a divine power that surpasses any individual’s capacity to aid in this healing process. LDS CAPA was established to support and strengthen these professionals in their vital work.

Aligning with the Principles of Christ

Originally founded in 1975 as the Association of Mormon Counselors & Psychotherapists, our organization has consistently aligned itself with the principles and standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

At our inaugural conference, Bishop Vaughn J. Featherstone inspired members, stating, “You are doing probably what the Savior spent His whole life doing, in just a little different way. You are healing souls.”

Supporting the Supporters

Each quarter we bring in a professional to share knowledge and understanding on a variety of topics, including therapeutic modalities, skills, techniques, marketing, business, and more! Be sure to watch for the CEU-eligible classes!

Memberships typically renew on a yearly basis. You will be reminded via email in the month prior to renewal, then your account will automatically renew on the year mark.

In the hope of providing value to all therapists at any point in their journey, whether a student just starting out to our retired members, we offer multiple membership options.

To simplify our memberships and provide the most value everywhere possible, we have consolidated some of the membership options. Associate members and Retired members are grouped together and International professional members can sign up under the regular Professional membership.

You can cancel your membership at any time–we do not have any contracts or hidden fees. Memberships are not refundable.
