Kenton's inquisitive and positive outlook on life makes him very easy to talk to, especially when I feel like maybe I just don't have the right words. I'm sure this extends to his demeanor in sessions as well. I respect his unwavering commitment to staying on the forefront of good practice and always keeping his client's best interest in mind. I have immense respect for him as a friend and colleague.

Kenton is an incredible therapist! He has an amazing ability to sit with clients in their therapy/emotional process. He is gentle and not judgmental. I would feel comfortable sending my most complex clients to him knowing that he would treat them with dignity and intentionality. He is also trained in modalities including EMDR and Brainspotting.

Former Client
I have nothing but good things to say about Kenton. Working with him has had such a positive impact on my life and has really helped me to grow as a person. Kenton is full of compassion, patience, and kindness. He creates a safe, non-judgemental space for his clients to open up in and it's clear that he genuinely cares about the people he works with.
With his unique approach, he encouraged me to challenge my anxieties, negative beliefs, and outlook on life, as well as helped me to develop life skills and a greater sense of self-efficacy and self-worth. I would not be where I am today without the work we did, and I am continually grateful to have had the chance to work with him.
Former Client
Kenton was one of the best therapists I’ve had the pleasure to work with. And when I say pleasure, that’s what I mean. I actually looked forward to our sessions together. He is very unique in his approach (in a good way). We broke ground by discussing our favorite movies, favorite music/bands, and fun life facts, all of which helped me to feel much more comfortable going forward in therapy. He’s a cool human being and one heck of a therapist. He has lots of approaches to working with clients, and he meets you exactly where you need to be met. I never felt pressured to talk about, or work through, anything before I was ready. He was sensitive to my needs and was very supportive.
I know some people have hesitations about male therapists, but let me tell you, I would highly recommend Kenton hands down to anyone I know. He just has a way to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and supported in your healing journey. I truly felt safe to feel my emotions in their entirety with Kenton. He has no judgment to absolute anything you tell him. He simply works to help you understand what’s troubling you and holding you back from living your best possible life. Kenton is literally awesome and I’m so lucky he was there to help me in my healing process.
Former Client
I'm a trans woman from Philadelphia and worked with Kenton at a treatment center. It was my first time in both Alabama and receiving treatment for an eating disorder. I was incredibly nervous about the entire situation, but with Kenton's help, it didn't take long until I felt safe. His presence allowed me to be truthful about my history, current beliefs, and goals. I was involved in many groups and sessions during my stay, but it was my time with Kenton that I found most healing.
He draws on a wealth of knowledge about the world, but also on his own experiences. The combination of these two things allows him to be one of the most empathetic and compassionate therapists I've worked with. In our conversations he not only listened to what I was saying, but it felt like he took everything I said as important no matter how minute of a detail. I would highly recommend Kenton for folks in the LGBTQ+ community.
Former Client
While Kenton was not my primary therapist during the course of my eating disorder treatment, I had the opportunity to work with him quite often. I could not say one bad thing about him. He’s such a smart, kind-hearted, empathetic, and compassionate therapist, and not to mention, just a well-rounded and awesome individual.
There were times when I just needed to chat with someone about things that were troubling me. Our conversations weren’t just about what was distressing me in the moment, but also how these troubles connected with core beliefs about myself and the world around me. We connected my healing with some of my favorite things in this world: art, music, and writing. I am confident that if you’re looking for a down-to-earth therapist, who cares not only about your overall well-being, but will walk with you in your journey to becoming the best version of yourself, Kenton’s your person.
Former Client
I became acquainted with Kenton in Oct 2020. A year later became a client by Zoom since we live a considerable distance away. Prior to beginning sessions with Kenton I used another therapist and felt standard talk therapy was not productive. After a couple of sessions with Kenton he suggested the Brainspotting technique. Although I was willing to try it my husband was very skeptical. But now after several sessions of Brainspotting (even by Zoom) we have been able to work thru past traumas and have seen significant reduction in depression and anxiety. My husband has also seen the improvement and recognizes the benefits of weekly Brainspotting Zoom sessions to minimize travel. I HIGHLY recommend Kenton. When I started therapy I was always so anxious before sessions, but his calm demeanor is very comforting and has made me willing to do the deeper work.
Former Client
Kenton is one of the best therapists I've ever had. I worked with him at a particularly hard part of my life, and not only did he listen and respond with empathy and compassion, he showed a remarkable talent to engage with me on my terms while still pushing me to grow. He also showed a crazy amount of willingness to work with me on creative solutions to my problems. For example, by giving book and film recommendations (he has great taste!), letter writing, and other forms of self expression that were not limited to traditional talk models. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
​
It wouldn't be an exaggeration that Kenton helped me help myself to find the tools and abilities that have enabled me to succeed in ways I never thought possible.
Former Client
Kenton is a great therapist and person!
His non-traditional therapeutic approach is helpful and refreshing. He helped me gain new perspectives and held space for me and my feelings. 10/10 would recommend.
Former Client
Kenton is the best therapist I have ever had (and I have had so many). He embraces quirkiness. He is sensitive and professional, without being boring. He is anything but boring! In a session with Kenton, you can expect humor as well as deep questions. He helps you ponder life from a new angle. I have had multiple flashbacks and panic attacks in his presence whilst exploring some challenging topics, and he is extremely safe and trauma-informed. He knows how to ground you and keep you safe. He is not afraid of your pain.
Former Client
Kenton was my therapist during one of the worst times of my life, and I didn’t believe it was possible for any breakthrough. The environment was safe with him, and he took interest in me as a human, not just the darkness I was battling. I was able to open up with him and share things I thought I’d take to my grave.
​
He was accepting, patient, and thoughtful. He related when he could and was informed about women's issues, which I appreciated as a woman who had never seen a male therapist. He’s genuinely a kind and quirky person who is eager to help people improve their mental health.
Former Client
Kenton was my favorite therapist I've ever had.
