The Association of Latter-day Saint Counselors and Psychotherapists (AMCAP) is a professional society founded in 1975 supporting professionals who want to provide counseling services supportive of teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[3][4][5] The organization further serves to increase trust in mental health professionals in the LDS community.[6][2] In 2012, AMCAP held a Utah conference with the Foundation for Attraction Research on homosexuality called "Reconciling Faith and Feelings".[7][8]
