If you want to improve your life yet struggle to achieve your desired results, I am here to lead you to healing. In our work together, we’ll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and other trauma-informed methods to help you break old patterns and create new ones.

Over time, you will learn to think differently about yourself, your loved ones, the world and your place in it. By working with me, you will understand your value and recognize your inherent strengths.

I provide a calm, safe place for you to explore and grow. I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families. I have assisted clients through high conflict, grief, faith crises, and trauma. I am passionate about helping you understand yourself and see your worth as an individual. Contact me today, and we will get started on your healing journey.

Inspiring our team and clients to be amazing

The History of Therapy Utah

Brannon Patrick and Kathy Kinghorn began their therapy careers in private practice over a decade ago, working with clients seeking help with sex addiction and betrayal. Since then, they’ve received the highest levels of training in both group and individual therapy work.

Five years ago, Brannon and Kathy started Therapy Utah to provide a deeper level of support for individuals, couples, families, and children seeking help with various challenges. They also developed the LIFT Program to create a unique and thriving community of support for people suffering from sex addiction and betrayal trauma.

Brannon also hosts the Real Talk Recovery podcast with his brother Tyler Patrick (the wandering therapist), providing accessible insights into relationships affected by addiction and betrayal. Before that, he hosted a similar podcast called The Betrayed, the Addicted, and The Expert for over four years, reaching listeners all over the web.

Kathy has a passion for educating professionals on sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. She has spoken at national and local conferences, and is a part-time instructor at The University of Kentucky. She’s also a field instructor for The University of Utah, and is on the advisory board for Sundance Academy. Kathy is also the author of The Long Road to Recovery, and hosts The Three Minute Therapist podcast. Kathy enjoys speaking engagements, and is available for events upon request.

Today, Therapy Utah provides in-person and online therapy services for a diverse range of clients in specially-designed facilities. We hire experienced, licensed therapists who specialize in specific modalities, provide detailed in-house training, and focus on matching every client with a therapist who will support their goals and needs effectively.
