Meet the Therapist

John Bowers, ACMHC
Therapist
My desire to understand people, help them heal, and flourish drew me to the mental health field. I truly value the power of choices and strive to withhold judgment as I support clients living according to their values. I hope to help clients build a life they would choose to live again in the same way. Facilitating self-reflection and accountability, I take a holistic approach to the constellation of mental health, educating clients on biological and mental interventions for optimal functioning.
I grew up in an art studio in the Sonoran Desert outside of Phoenix, Arizona (my father is a professional artist), and I love to create. Creativity is one of the most powerful tools we all possess, and we can be agents to change our lives for the better through this ability. I’m a classically trained singer, an award-winning artist, a merciless volleyball player, an animal lover, and a comedian (you may disagree, but that’s show biz).

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.
