Kent is a warm, energetic, kind, encouraging friend and psychotherapist who believes that no change is impossible.



Kent is a graduate of the University of North Carolina.  He received the MSW degree in 1974.  He is licensed  in the state of Alabama as a psychotherapist (LCSW & PIP). 

He was trained under Michele Weiner Davis who has transformed thousands of marriages.  Kent believes she is one of the top three marriage counselors in the United States.  He does not believe in taking sides in marriage counseling.  Placing blame does not help anyone.  He wants each person in the marriage to become the best that they can be.  He meets with each spouse individually developing solutions for the marriage.  In the same session he meets with the couple together using carefully designed exercises to give vision, promote excellent communication, break down barriers, heal old wounds, defeat the power struggle, close exit doors, resolve rage, and revitalize romance in the marriage.

Kent was also trained under Howard Glasser who has a miraculous approach to working with children.  Kent believes that Howard is the best child therapist in the country.  When a child comes to therapy, Kent will meet with the child, develop a relationship, give the child a vision, and partner with the child in working on key issues.  He then teaches the parents to be therapists at home using THE NURTURED HEART APPROACH FOR DIFFICULT CHILDREN.

Kent has a supremely happy, powerfully passionate, best friend relationship with his beautiful wife of 39 years.  They have four children and three grandchildren.

The greatest satisfaction that Kent receives as a therapist is seeing lives remarkably changed from unhealthy negativity to powerful victories for good!!!!  He wants you to "hang in there."  Help  is on the way.  There are many reasons to have hope.  Call 256-766-5707 to start your journey of transformation.  You may want to visit his website---www.afamilymatter.com.
