About Kiana

Steady, evidence-based, and built for the work that takes real courage.

Kiana Armstrong is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in trauma — not as a clinical category, but as a lived experience that quietly shapes how people move through the world. She works with adults who are high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside: people who have learned to carry what happened to them without realizing how much it is still costing them.

She is trained in two of the most rigorously researched trauma therapies available: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Both approaches are evidence-based, trauma-focused, and designed to help the brain do what it already wants to do — process, integrate, and move forward. Kiana brings these tools to her work with warmth and clinical precision, meeting each client where they are.

"Trauma doesn't always look like what you'd expect. Sometimes it looks like anxiety that won't quit, relationships that keep hitting the same wall, or a persistent sense that something is wrong — even when life looks fine from the outside. You don't have to have a dramatic story to deserve support."

Kiana's approach is collaborative and paced to each client's readiness. She does not push clients into material before they are ready, and she does not rush the process. Her goal is to create a space where clients feel safe enough to do the work — and supported enough to stay with it when it gets hard.

Kiana accepts Medicare and most major commercial insurance plans. She sees clients in person at Sentient Path's Flower Mound office and virtually anywhere in Texas, and is currently accepting new clients.

Areas of Focus

What Kiana works with

Kiana works best with clients who are ready to look honestly at what has shaped them — and who want a therapist who will stay steady while they do. Whether trauma is the presenting concern or the hidden layer beneath anxiety and depression, she brings both clinical skill and genuine steadiness to the work.

Trauma & PTSD

Kiana specializes in trauma across the spectrum — from single-incident events to complex, relational, or developmental trauma. She uses EMDR and CPT to help clients process what happened without being retraumatized by the telling of it.

High-Functioning Trauma

Many of Kiana's clients are accomplished, capable, and quietly exhausted. They have built successful lives around the edges of something unresolved. Kiana understands the particular texture of trauma that hides behind competence — and how to work with it without dismantling what makes someone capable.

Anxiety

Anxiety and trauma are deeply connected. Kiana works with clients whose anxiety is rooted in past experiences — hypervigilance, chronic worry, anticipatory fear — and helps them understand what the nervous system is trying to protect them from, and how to find more ease.

Depression

Depression often carries the weight of things that were never fully processed. Kiana approaches depression with curiosity rather than just symptom management — exploring what is underneath and helping clients reconnect with themselves and what matters to them.

Grief & Loss

Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a process that needs space, witness, and time. Kiana provides a steady, non-rushing presence for clients navigating loss — whether the loss is a person, a relationship, a version of themselves, or a life they expected to have.

Adults & Medicare Clients

Kiana accepts Medicare and welcomes adults of all ages, including older adults navigating trauma, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is warm, direct, and respectful of each client's pace and history.

How Kiana Works

Evidence-based trauma therapy. Warm, collaborative, and paced to you.

Kiana's work is grounded in the most current trauma research and delivered with genuine warmth. She does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healing — some clients are ready to move directly into trauma processing, while others need time to build the stability and safety that makes that work possible. Kiana meets each client where they are and builds from there.

Sessions are collaborative. Kiana explains what she is doing and why, checks in regularly about pacing and comfort, and adjusts the approach based on what the client needs. The goal is not just symptom reduction — it is lasting change in how clients relate to their own history and themselves.

  • EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

    EMDR is one of the most extensively researched trauma therapies available. It uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess distressing memories — so they lose their emotional charge and no longer drive current behavior. Kiana is trained in EMDR and uses it with clients who are ready to work directly with traumatic material.

  • CPT — Cognitive Processing Therapy

    CPT is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD that focuses on the beliefs trauma creates — about safety, trust, power, esteem, and intimacy. It helps clients examine and shift the stuck points that keep them from moving forward. Kiana is a trained CPT provider and uses this approach with clients navigating the cognitive aftermath of trauma.

  • Trauma-Informed Care

    Everything Kiana does is grounded in trauma-informed principles: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. This is not just a treatment modality — it is a way of being in the therapeutic relationship that honors what clients have been through and what they need to heal.

  • Stabilization & Window of Tolerance Work

    Before moving into trauma processing, Kiana works with clients to build the internal resources and nervous system regulation skills that make deeper work possible. This includes grounding techniques, distress tolerance, and understanding the window of tolerance — the zone in which healing happens without overwhelm.
