Abstract
At the heart of this capstone project are individuals who have exited conservative evangelicalism and are reclaiming and rebuilding their lives after having adverse religious experiences and experiencing religious trauma from fundamental evangelical settings. The paper provides a snapshot of the identity and beliefs of fundamental evangelicals and a review of the literature on the diverse mental health issues disaffiliated evangelicals may seek support with. Considerations and cautions for clinical counsellors in working with disaffiliated evangelicals are included. This exploration is done with the hope that it will be informative and helpful for mental health professionals when members of this demographic seek support and intervention.
