The Institute for Cognitive Therapy is a private, non-profit agency that was created by Dr. Donna Castleton, LCSW, and Randy Linnell, LCSW, to help address the growing needs in Utah County for issues including substance abuse, domestic violence, anger management, and victim counseling. Our practice has grown and has continued to adjust to the needs of our community. We now also offer therapy for individuals, couples, families, the LGBTQ+ community, and religious conflicts. After Dr. Castleton’s recent retirement, Heidi Riddle, LCSW, SAP, has stepped into her place as Executive Director.
The Institute’s clinical staff are licensed, highly trained professionals who share a commitment to providing effective, accessible, and quality treatment services. We serve clients from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. We also currently offer therapy sessions in both English and Spanish.
ICT has grants with Utah County and the State of Utah for Domestic Violence treatment for both victims and perpetrators, as well as for substance abuse treatment, for both court-ordered and volunteer clients.
