Lindsay Schiess, LCSW
Director of Business
I work with women as adults, young adults, and couples. Women go through so many life stages. Often, they find themselves stuck in hard places, not knowing why things feel hard but just knowing that they do. There may be reasons for their pain, but I aim to help relieve the suffering. I help them find their purpose, healing, hope, and joy.
I believe that getting to the root of a client’s problem is imperative. What we see is the behavior, but what is underlying the behavior is usually where the real issue lies. It could be a negative experience, a wound, a false belief about oneself… this may be the real “why” behind the behavior. Getting to this WHY is where lasting change occurs.
I find that EMDR and IFS are often helpful in uncovering the “why” behind the behavior.
I love this work, and I love people. I believe in their inherent goodness. I’m passionate about healing and finding peace in life.

Client Testimonials:
“I’ve been seeing Lindsay for almost a year and she has been an invaluable resource for my healing. With previous therapists, I spent most of my sessions simply talking through my anxieties and feeling frustrated that I was going nowhere. The first time I met with Lindsay, she educated me about several explanations for anxiety symptoms and helped me to let go of the shame associated with my mental health struggles. Every session, Lindsay would educate me, hold me accountable to my goals, and offer encouragement for the weeks ahead. Lindsay is passionate about helping her clients and is a breath of fresh air. She is invested in a root cause approach to mental health and uses all approaches (including CBT, ART, EMDR, etc), in addition to discussing physical exercise, sleep habits, and healthy relationships/boundaries. Lindsay has truly has changed my life! She is personable, kind, and is living evidence of healing and finding fulfillment in everyday life. I have personally experienced an incredible amount of healing; yet, as everyone does, I still have hard days. Lindsay has offered me several resources over the last year and I finally feel like I have the tools to avoid shaming my feelings and weather the hard days. Lindsay has been instrumental in helping me create better lifestyle habits and helping me find joy, fulfillment, and gratitude each day. Not only has Lindsay been a crucial support for my personal mental health concerns, but was an amazing resource when my husband and I saw her for couples therapy. We completed five sessions and learned several tools to help us with empathy, communication, connection. It’s been incredible to witness how much our marriage has improved. Lindsay is a wealth of knowledge and Therapy Utah is incredibly lucky to have her on their team!”
“Lindsay, She has helped me in so many great ways, I have been in therapy for over 25 years and I have never had a therapist as good as her. She has guided me through some of the toughest times in my life, she has been tender, kind, understanding, stern, solid, knowledgeable, we have shared some tears and laughter. She has given me a new way to look at things and how I can be a better person, I feel very lucky to have her in my life.”

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.
