Blake Adams, CSW

Therapist

Blake-Adams-Therapist-Therapy-Utah
Mental health should be straightforward and relatable to everyone. I personally feel that society’s approach to healing is as overwhelming as it is flawed. It centers on more force, more medication, more busy work, and more excess to drown out the hurt. I firmly believe that peace and healing don’t start with more but rather a shift in effort. You are not broken, you can enjoy your life, and you are worthy to grow.

I’m near impossible to offend and acceptance is my most valued attribute. I love genuine emotions, creativity, and making life legitimately fun. You’ll probably catch me in the mountains on the weekends and I have a passion for photography, art, and reading. I’ve served in the National Guard and have competed in or coached high-level sports for most of my life. I have extensive experience working with both teens and children in behavioral concerns, trauma, addiction, and issues related to sexual abuse or perpetration.

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.
