Brannon Patrick, LCSW
Co-Founder of TherapyUtah
As the co-creator of Therapy Utah and the CEO of LIFT, Brannon Patrick has treated almost every kind of addiction in every conceivable setting.
Brannon began his career in an inpatient psychiatric unit and then spent years gaining experience in an intensive outpatient setting. During his many years of clinical work, he received specialized training, including training to become a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist.
In addition to his work with Therapy Utah, Brannon Patrick is also a writer, blogger, podcaster, and content creator. He was known for years as The Expert on The Betrayed, The Addicted and The Expert—a podcast he co-hosted with Ashlynn and Coby Mitchell before starting his show Real Talk Recovery with his brother Tyler.
Brannon’s greatest training has been in real life—he has been married to his wife for over 15 years, and like any relationship, they work hard at it. Learning how to create safety, hold space, allow for their own individuality, and work through conflict has given Brannon invaluable insights that support his work with clients of all kinds. To this day, Brannon believes that his wife, Jenny, has been his greatest teacher—and that his most important role is as a father and husband.

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.
