Founder / Clinical Director
Kent is a warm and friendly guy who is known by many as being easy to talk to. When you meet with Kent, you’ll notice that he’s not judging you. Instead he is really listening to you. Not just the words you say, but more importantly, he genuinely understands the emotions you feel. When you are in therapy with Kent, you can expect to feel safe… safe enough to honestly acknowledge and accept your feelings, challenge yourself to rise above your pain and creatively take healthy emotional risks to empower and improve your life.

My name is Bianca Morris and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor at Teen Therapy Center.
I have always had a passion for working with children and teens because I believe that getting support and care when they are young is critical to their development. Being young in this field, I am able to connect with your child on an emotional level by showing understanding and empathy, as well as helping them find confidence and resilience they need to move ahead in life.
Brian Frith-Smith
Director of Operations
Brian Frith-Smith is the charming (so he thinks) and kind of strange Director of Operations at Teen Therapy Center. He wears many hats in his role but likes to say that he “keeps the trains running on time.” He is a former restaurant owner and spent over twenty years in the hospitality industry before arriving at TTC. He brings his skillset as a small business operator to managing Teen Therapy Center’s business and marketing. Brian is fluent in Spanish and considers being bilingual along with a defiant sense of optimism as his two superpowers. Outside of work Brian really enjoys being a dad, backpacking in the Eastern Sierra and producing electronic dance pop. He is also an avid defender and aficionado of Disco.
