About the Foundation

This work grew out of real experience — years of watching faith transitions reshape families, strain marriages, and leave everyone involved feeling alone in what they were going through. HRT Foundation exists because every person in that situation deserves support, not just the one whose beliefs are changing.

Each person is going through something

When someone’s beliefs shift, the people around them feel it too. A spouse can be shocked to discover something about the person they married that they didn’t see before or would not expect to happen. A parent can feel like a failure for not doing more to prevent such a crisis. A child can be confused about what is happening, why things are changing and what it means for them. The person changing, is already navigating something deep to their soul and doesn’t want to lose the people they love. All of it is real. All of it deserves attention.

Finding help you both trust

When one person in a relationship is going through a faith crisis and the idea of using a counsellor or therapist comes up, a lot of feelings can arise. “We shouldn’t need a counsellor, we can handle this ourselves.” “Reaching outside might make things going on between us worse.” “The kind of therapist or counsellor they want would probably just support their position.” “If we go to a therapist they choose, they’ll just push us toward the outcome they’re after.” Finding someone that both people feel comfortable with can genuinely be challenging sometimes. These and other concerns can shape how a person or couple approaches getting help or whether they don’t get any help. We’re aware of these concerns and want to do right by each person. That is why we are not focused on getting any particular outcome. We just want to help you through the process, so each of you can bring your best self to whatever challenges you face, which will naturally bring the best outcome for you.

Healing begins within you

Other people, good resources and professionals can support you, but ultimately, the real healing comes from within you. We are happy if we can help that healing come. Our courses and tools are built to help you at your own convenience and at your own pace.

Accepting healing wherever it is found

We draw from practical psychology and wisdom from many traditions. We are not here to move anyone toward or away from any particular field or belief system. We are here to help people find their healing and from there, give their relationships the best chance to heal as well.

Founded by experience

The Healing Relationships Today Foundation is led by Jared Sorensen and a small team of people who have and are living through faith transitions and changes in belief, from both sides of the relationship. They know what is at stake from personal experience. This isn’t theoretical work. It is practical and made to succeed.
