Mary Lamas, MSW-I

Intern

Life can be messy, and we all need help navigating relationships and circumstances at times. Finding a therapist can be daunting when you don’t know what you need or who would be a good fit for you. As a practitioner of trauma-informed therapies, I believe in the value and power of each client. I’m passionate about walking with my clients as they work through trauma or shame, regain safety and positivity in their relationships, and thrive in confidence and empowerment. Life should be enjoyed, not just endured, and we can find the right path to healing and happiness for you and your unique situation.

Creating and maintaining boundaries for successful relationships with ourselves and others is difficult but essential. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have experience with ADHD and substance use disorders, and I genuinely love working with adults and adolescents alike. I also have unique expertise in First Responder trauma. My combination of empathy, empowerment, humor, and straight talk makes me an ideal therapist for those ready to take on their problems and learn to turn them into strengths.

While I am trained in traditional modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and Mindfulness, there are cases where verbalizing and revisiting past experiences is overwhelming. In these cases, my training in Brain-Working Recursive Therapy allows fast and effective healing without extensive discussion of trauma. BWRT is a modality that allows us to quickly re-train our brain so that we can keep the memories without holding on to the pain they give us or the tendency to repeat negative behaviors.

I look forward to working with you and helping you step into a new, happier version of yourself!

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.
