Grateful for the Therapists Helping Shape Sentient Path

At Sentient Path, we believe quality therapy starts with quality relationships — with our clients, with our community, and within the clinical team itself.

Therapy is not factory work. It is human work. It requires presence, training, emotional steadiness, clinical judgment, and the ability to sit with complexity. Because of that, we believe therapists need more than a place to see clients. They need a practice culture that respects them as whole people.

At Sentient Path, we believe in both quality therapy and access to therapy. We also believe in quality work-life balance for therapists. When therapists are cared for, respected, supported, and balanced, everyone benefits — clients, families, communities, businesses, and the broader culture around mental health.

As Sentient Path continues to grow, I feel deeply grateful for the clinicians who are helping shape the heart of this practice.

Cryshanna Rockwell, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, CCTP

Cryshanna has been with Sentient Path since we first began hiring. She was our first hire and is now our most senior therapist.

That means so much to me.

From the early stages of building this practice, Cryshanna has brought steadiness, wisdom, professionalism, and depth to our team. She is a clinician with strong specialized training, including her work as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Cryshanna brings structure and compassion together in a way that is deeply valuable for clients. She has a grounded presence, a strong clinical foundation, and a clear commitment to helping people build insight, resilience, and practical tools for their lives.

As Sentient Path has grown, Cryshanna has been part of the foundation. I am grateful not only for the care she provides to clients, but also for the consistency, maturity, and clinical strength she brings to our group.

Kiana Armstrong, LPC, EMDR-Trained, CPT

Kiana joined Sentient Path a year ago as her first full-time role after her work in crisis nonprofit settings. It has been such an honor to be part of this chapter in her career.

Coming from crisis work, Kiana brought with her a deep understanding of trauma, urgency, emotional pain, and the importance of meeting people with steadiness and care. Since joining Sentient Path, she has continued growing into a thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate clinician.

Kiana is EMDR-trained and also provides CPT, bringing strong trauma-focused tools into her work with clients. She has a warmth that is felt not only by clients, but also within our office culture. She contributes to the kind of environment we want Sentient Path to be — clinically serious, but still human, warm, collaborative, and grounded.

We appreciate Kiana so much. Her presence has added something meaningful to the culture of our office, and I am grateful for the ways she continues to grow and contribute.

Megan Cooper, LPC-Associate

Megan’s journey with Sentient Path has been especially meaningful.

She first joined us as a graduate student intern and has grown with us over the course of more than a year. We had the privilege of watching her evolve from a student clinician into a graduate, and now into her work as an LPC-Associate.

During her time with Sentient Path, Megan has shown openness, humility, warmth, curiosity, and a genuine desire to keep learning. She has been mentored by Mikayla Jacob, LCSW-S, LISW, and has now continued forward under another incredible mentor, Christy Stone, LPC-S.

There is something very special about getting to walk alongside a clinician during the early stages of their professional development. Megan represents part of what we hope Sentient Path can continue to be: a place where clinicians can grow, be supported, learn deeply, and step into this work with both skill and heart.

We are so grateful for Megan and for the trust she has placed in this practice during such an important season of her professional growth.

Alejandra Mercado, LCSW-S

Alejandra brings many years of experience, including her work with the VA and her clinical work in South Texas.

She is a bilingual therapist offering virtual therapy in English and Spanish, and her experience adds an important layer of depth, cultural responsiveness, and accessibility to Sentient Path.

Alejandra is currently virtual-only, and we want to support her in this season. We believe virtual therapy can be a meaningful and necessary access point for many clients across Texas, especially for those seeking bilingual care or support from a clinician with extensive experience working with complex life experiences.

Alejandra’s background, maturity, and clinical skill are a gift to the clients she serves. We are grateful to have her as part of Sentient Path and excited to support her work as she expands access to virtual therapy across the state.

The Culture We Are Building

When I look at this team, I feel grateful for more than credentials. I feel grateful for the culture that is forming.

Sentient Path is a small-town community practice at heart. We want clients to feel like they are known, not processed. We want clinicians to feel supported, not depleted. We want our work to contribute to the larger solution in mental health care — one rooted in quality, access, ethical care, and sustainable practice.

We are grateful for the group we have and for the trust our clients and community continue to place in us.

There is so much more in the works, and we cannot wait to share what is coming next. Watch for more announcements from Sentient Path as we continue growing, expanding access, and contributing to quality, small-town community impact in Flower Mound and across Texas.
