🌿 Private Practice Consulting for Therapists

Helping Therapists Build Purposeful, Sustainable, and Aligned Practices

I’m Mikayla Jacob, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S, LISW) and Founder of Sentient Path PLLC, a growing mental health practice based in Flower Mound, Texas.
Over the years, I’ve learned that building a private practice isn’t just about systems and structure—it’s about creating a professional life that truly fits who you are. My consulting work exists to help therapists do exactly that: grow with clarity, confidence, and alignment.

As a clinician, I’ve worked across settings—inpatient psychiatry, school counseling, community mental health, addiction treatment, and private practice. As a business owner, I’ve built and led a group practice that supports both client care and clinician well-being. Now, I help other mental health professionals do the same—bridging clinical integrity with business strategy.

✨ Consulting for Therapists

Starting or expanding a private practice can feel overwhelming. Between credentialing, policies, insurance panels, marketing, supervision, and sustainability—it’s easy to get lost in the noise.

Through 1:1 consulting sessions, I help clinicians simplify the process, clarify direction, and take tangible steps toward a thriving practice that feels authentic, grounded, and financially sound.

Who I Work With

  • Provisionally licensed therapists (LMSW, LPC-Associate, LMFT-Associate) preparing for private practice.

  • Fully licensed clinicians ready to expand, refine, or rebrand their business.

  • Practice owners or supervisors seeking structure, leadership support, and sustainable growth strategies.

Areas of Focus

  • Practice Foundations: Forming your PLLC/LLC, securing EIN & NPI, creating policies and procedures.

  • Credentialing & Insurance Strategy: Navigating panels like Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and Optum with confidence.

  • Systems & Operations: Streamlining EHR, billing, documentation, and scheduling.

  • Branding & Marketing: Clarifying your niche, building your online presence, and connecting ethically with clients.

  • Clinical Leadership: Transitioning from clinician to supervisor, manager, or group practice owner.

  • Sustainability & Burnout Prevention: Building a business that supports your wellbeing, not drains it.

My Approach

I combine clinical supervision expertise with hands-on business experience from leading Sentient Path PLLC—a multi-clinician, hybrid practice serving communities across Texas and Ohio.
My consultations are collaborative, actionable, and rooted in both strategy and self-awareness. You’ll leave each session with clear next steps, personalized tools, and renewed confidence in your professional direction.

This isn’t generic business coaching—it’s grounded mentorship from someone who’s been in your shoes, understands the ethics and demands of clinical work, and knows what it takes to grow a practice that lasts.

What to Expect

  • Format: 1:1 virtual sessions via Zoom

  • Length: 60-minute consultations (single or ongoing options)

  • Focus: Tailored guidance for your current stage of growth

  • Outcome: Practical, values-based strategies you can implement immediately

Why It Matters

Therapists do life-changing work—but we deserve professional systems and support that sustain us, too. My goal is to help you build a business that aligns with your ethics, your strengths, and your life. Because when clinicians are well-supported, our clients and communities benefit, too.

Ready to Begin?

If you’re ready to create a practice that feels grounded, purposeful, and truly yours, I’d love to support you on that path.
