Jennifer Helten

Founder and CEO

Hi there! I am the founder, owner, and CEO of Unique Pathways. I did not plan a career in ABA. I did not anticipate owning a company, either. My love was, and still is, the ocean. I planned to become a Marine Biologist specializing in the study of sharks. God had other plans and is leading me through the journey I am currently on. I began my career over 25 years ago when I took a job as a nanny in Dallas. One of the kids was diagnosed with Autism. I had never heard of ABA at that time, and my knowledge of autism was limited; think "Rain Man." As I observed and learned more about the science, I made the decision to become a direct therapist, and so began my journey. 

I have worked with children as young as 18 months and as old as 23 all of whom varied levels of skill, behavior, and development. I have assisted in designing numerous IEPs and accompanied families of school-age children to their annual ARD meetings. I shadowed 20 of my 25 years in private schools in the DFW metroplex. I designed and led yearly-held summer camps; targeting social and emotional development. I had the privilege of traveling with families, domestically and abroad, so their child could participate in family vacations. In 2015, I was hired to start and oversee the shadowing program for a private Christian school in Grapevine, Texas. Shortly thereafter, I was promoted to Director and, after five years, resigned to focus solely on Unique Pathways. Additionally, I sit on multiple expert panels designed to assist ABA business owners. ABA must remain child-focused, tailoring each program to meet the child and valuing quality over quantity.  

I am originally from Kansas and the oldest of seven children. I have been with my husband for 25 years. We have a beautiful daughter, a German Shepherd named Sophie, and a cat named Goldie. Once upon a time, you would have found my husband and me cruising around town on our Harleys; however, we have traded our bikes in for the next best thing, an oldie but goldie, CJ-7 Jeep. I enjoy meeting new people and look forward to God's path for me.

Monica Dooley

Executive Assistant

I have been blissfully in love with my husband since 1999. We have five kids, four of which are still living at home. My oldest is a newlywed in the Navy, training to be an extreme meteorologist. I was able to stay home with the kids while my husband built his career after leaving the Army. I’ve dubbed us “Texa-homa-radoans”, as we have bounced from Texas, to Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, and eventually made our way back to Texas. Over the years of raising my babies, I have worn many hats, including being a hole-filler at our churches, a youth leader, mentor, retail manager, school admin secretary, photographer, and small business owner. I have a strong connection with the special needs community and am grateful to have the opportunity to assist Unique Pathways in their current goals and future growth.

I grew up in San Antonio with my parents and younger brother. “Bear” as we called him, had a series of traumatic brain injuries and was diagnosed with “severe Autism” and epilepsy in the early 1980’s at a very early age. Not much was known about autism at the time and his likely misdiagnosis didn’t help the situation. Bear functioned at the age of no greater than a two-year-old for the majority of his life, with little to no communication skills, could not feed himself in a safe or sanitary way, and was not able to be toilet trained. I grew up quickly, helping my parents with my brother’s multiple needs and volunteering in his classrooms and after-school care facilities. My empathy for the families raising neuro-diverse children grew into compassion and, eventually, led to me working with neuro-diverse communities through my photography.

I still have my photography business, but after having moved twice during the pandemic, and simultaneously covering photography clients across three different states, I am taking a break from full-time entrepreneurship and devoting myself part-time to Unique Pathways while settling into our new home in Denton. I'm happy to still serve the neuro-diverse community that I love... just with a little less driving. :)

I value fun, flexibility, personal growth, learning, and relationships. I love live music and sporting events, and will jump at the chance to attend either on any given day! I would rather be outside more often than not, and basically anything I can do in the mountains or in the ocean is my bliss. Hiking, adventuring, water fun like snorkeling, or even a river float trip are definitely top of my list to do when I get the chance.

I am originally from South Dakota but have been living in the Dallas Metro for almost five years. I grew up all over the Midwestern United States and have also lived in northern Canada. I am a Christian and have been since April 4, 2013, which is my primary reason for being in a sensitive and amazing field such as this one! I am married with three wonderful children. 

I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from South Dakota State University while working for a behavior analytic company and accumulating experience for approximately 2 years as a line-level therapist for individuals with autism. Simultaneously, I attended The Sage Colleges M.S. program in Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism and am currently a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). 

​Before coming to Unique Pathways, I served as a Clinical Supervisor over school-based, home-based, residential, and consult-based programs in a variety of settings. I have extensive experience assessing, programming, and creating a successful program for individuals with autism and related disorders. I also have experience conducting in-depth training with parents, school professionals, and clinical staff.

I'm now the Clinical Director after serving as the Lead BCBA at Unique Pathways for four years and absolutely love what we are trying to accomplish as a company. I am blessed to be part of a team that genuinely cares for all children and is motivated by providing quality service to others.

Tierra Mathews

Office Manager

I was born in South Bend, Indiana but raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I am currently majoring in Psychology intending to receive my Bachelor's in the fall of 2020. I have known my entire life that I wanted to help people, in particular, children. I spent two years coaching volleyball and six years working with kids in different programs such as the YMCA.  

I’ve been working with Unique Pathways for three years as a Registered Behavior Technician, and I’m in love with the field of ABA. At the age of 26, it’s not often you find a job where you see your hard work directly change lives. I’ve always known I wanted to work with children, but I’m blessed to be part of a team that’s driven with passion and integrity.

I enjoy so much being able to come to work every day and make an impression on the life of a child. I hope with this experience, and a degree in psychology, I can continue to grow and help make significant impacts on lives daily in our community.  I am blessed to be with a company with so much passion and purpose.

Justice Stockton, MS, CCC-SLP

Speech & Language Pathologist

Hey, y'all! I was born in Waco, TX but raised in the Dallas area (Duncanville, specifically)! I have been a Speech Language Pathologist for 3 years now and truly enjoy my work. I graduated with my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Speech Pathology from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX. While at SFA, I met my now husband, Joshua, and we moved back to Dallas to be closer to my family. I come from a pretty big family, and we are super close, so I love having them down the street from me.

I always knew I wanted to do something in the helping profession, and during my junior and senior years of high school, I participated in a teaching internship, and that is where I discovered the world of speech pathology. Shortly after my senior year of high school, I was in a car accident and had to receive speech therapy services, and that was my sign from God to become an SLP. I love the feeding and sensory aspects of our field and working with kiddos with ASD. It warms my heart to see my kids reach their goals and surpass all expectations.

When I am not working with the littles, I enjoy binge-watching tv, spending time with my husband and family, and love to travel. I LOVE to collect cups and water bottles and will always have one with me. I love hearing about the crazy things my kiddos do at home, so feel free to share all the amazing stories with me, and if you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to reach out!

Speech Pathology Assistant (SLPa) Registered Behavioral Therapist (RBT)

Hello! I am Hannah Davenport! I recently graduated in Spring 2022 from Texas Womans University with a degree in Communication Science Disorders (Speech Pathology Assistant). During my time while I was working on my undergraduate degree. My cohort voted me as NSSLHA SOCS historian during my Senior year. Also, during my last 4 years while working on my undergraduate curriculum, I worked at a local Pediatric Clinic in the Dallas Fort Worth area, specializing in patient care from newborns to adolescents. Working with not only kids and adults is a real joy and an extension of my personal life, as I have two children of my own.

As a young child, I always planned on becoming a nurse. This was until my father suffered from a stroke. Seeing my father's struggles and setbacks during his recovery inspired and cultivated a love in me for helping individuals overcome adversities to live full and fulfilling lives. At the time of my father’s stroke, I was coincidentally taking an introduction to communication science disorders class where my passion for the field of speech pathology began. My father and our family struggled to find an answer to this sudden medical condition as he was evaluated by multiple doctors who were all stumped by his becoming mentally disabled overnight. This experience inspired me to continue my education to become a Speech Language Pathologist to assist my family members and other families going through similar hardships.

My next goal is to receive admission this Spring to continue my master's to become a Speech Language Pathologist. I can’t wait to learn more about the field of speech pathology as this field has lit a fire under me that could never burn out.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)

A little bit about me, I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst that is currently serving a variety of group ages (18 months- 18 years of age). I received my undergraduate degree from Texas Woman's University in 2016, specializing in Child Development with an emphasis on Child Life. Shortly after, I began attending the University of Cincinnati where I received my Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis in 2019. While working towards my Master's degree, I worked as a therapist, team leader, and training coordinator. 

Prior to onboarding to Unique Pathways, I served as a Clinic Supervisor/BCBA supervising clients in the clinic setting. I have over five years of experience working with children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in a variety of settings, including clinic, home, and school settings. Without a doubt, serving our families has been such a fantastic experience and I thank all of the families for continuously trusting us. The outcomes that ABA is able to provide along with the support of other professionals have allowed us to see our clients grow and bloom in amazing ways. 

When I am not working, I am enjoying my time with my beautiful, energetic and fearless daughter, Emma Juliette. We love spending time outdoors playing with bubbles, riding her bike, gardening, and building castles. I am beyond thankful for the opportunity I have been given to work with a company that is so family-oriented and has great values.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)

I was born and raised in North East Texas. it's a really small town between Greenville and Paris Texas, you'll miss it if you blink. I have one younger sibling. I have always loved caring for people and helping them. My journey into ABA occurred when I stumbled across a program at Baylor University during a graduate school tour with my Undergraduate Program called McNair Scholars. I met with the Dean of the school and fell in love with the thought of helping children progress in school and in the community.

I studied at Baylor University in their Masters Educational Psychology Program that emphasized in Applied Behavior Analysis. With this program I was able to interact with individuals with varying abilities. Every single encounter helped me grow and further fall in love with the field. I graduated this program in 2019 and moved on to clinical work. I currently have 4 + years' experience working in ABA, including my practicum and graduate work studies. I really hope to someday target the more rural and less targeted individuals.

Outside of work, I like relaxing and planning meals. I enjoy cooking, but I love sharing it even more. I love to read, swim and watch mystery investigations. Sometimes just sitting with a a good book or binge watching watching anime/ dramas makes for a good day, as well. I tend to be a perfectionist and put a lot of thought into my work. projects and ideas. I like to consider everyone else's thoughts, feelings. opinions, allergies (when I'm cooking for a group). I like making people feel included and valued. I hope to continue making a positive impact with my work and I can't wait to meet you

Hello to all! I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and am the third of four children.  I crossed the Red River, however, to attend the University of Oklahoma for my undergrad. I graduated from OU in the spring of 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Special Education and am enrolled to receive my master's from OU. Boomer Sooner! 

My experience working with children began with babysitting when I was 15 and progressed through working at daycares, giving swim lessons to little ones, and teaching in various special education rooms and ages. Working with children has always been my passion. I have been an intern at Unique Pathways for two summers and am excited to join the team permanently. Receiving the opportunity to work at Unique Pathways is a dream come true because it allows me to pursue a career that offers a reciprocal positive impact on those I work with and on myself, as well. 

When I am not working or studying, I enjoy hiking, relax out by the lake, bake, and spend time with my family and friends.

I am the youngest of three, born and (partially) raised in Tampa, Florida. My dad was in the Air Force, so I spent about three years living in Honolulu before moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Most of my time is spent as personal assistant to my dog and two cats. This year I became a first-time aunt so now I live to serve my beautiful niece as well. 

I graduated from the University of North Texas and received my Bachelor’s in Applied Behavior Analysis in Spring of 2020. I’ve been working with kids for almost 5 years in multiple environments. Before graduating, I started the process of applying to law school but, ultimately, decided to take a gap year to try out the professional side of ABA. This is when I had my Oprah “Aha!” moment and truly found my passion in helping kids through ABA. My goal is to continue to grow in my field to become a BCBA. I have applied to graduate school as of the end of 2021 and, hopefully, will attend by the Fall of 2022.

I am so blessed to have joined the team at Unique Pathways and continue to serve this community. I love spending time and creating connections with these amazing kiddos.

Julie Devlin, MBA, MS.Ed

I was born and raised in Baldwin, NY on Long Island. I have always been an avid sports fan (Go Mets and Islanders!!) and athlete, playing softball and ice hockey for as long as I can remember. I went to school at the University of New Haven, where I played collegiate softball while getting my Bachelors in Management of Sports Industries and my M.B.A. Coaching softball after graduating made me realize how much I adore working with kids. Quickly after entering the business world, I began school….. again, but this time to become a Special Education Teacher! 

I worked as a Teaching Assistant in a Pre-K Special Education Class, 2nd Grade Inclusion Class, and 3-5 Grade Self-Contained Class for the past three years on Long Island while attending Molloy College. I received my Master's in Special Education and am currently continuing my education at FIT (Florida Institute of Technology) to get my advanced certificate in ABA to become a BCBA. I am extremely passionate about what I do and love working with the most amazing students in the world every single day. 

When I’m not working I love to travel, go for hikes, to the beach/lake, or simply be outside with family and friends. Fun Fact: my high school ice hockey team’s home rink was the same rink that the 1980 Olympic “Miracle On Ice” game was played in Lake Placid, NY!

I was born and raised in Houston Texas and I am the youngest of three children. I graduated from the University of Houston Downtown in 2016 with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology.

It was not until my senior year of undergraduate studies, when I realized that I wanted to work with kids. During that time, I was working as a chess instructor teaching kids around Houston how to play chess. Watching my students progress and get better at the game of chess to the point where they started going to state championships, made me realize that working with kids is something that I want to do.

Currently, I am working on getting my Masters degree in the area of Educational Psychology at Stephen F. Austin University. My ultimate goal is to become a BCBA when it is all said and done! I am thankful and blessed to be a part of an amazing team, at Unique Pathways!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. watching sports (mainly the Dallas Cowboys), playing video games, and reading books.

Dia Gonzalez

Registered Behavior Technician

I was born and raised in Fort Worth Texas, and as I grow older I find more things to love about our diverse metroplex.

I am currently a psychology major at UT Dallas, and I am hoping to start a doctorate program by the fall of 2023. Ever since I can remember I have had a passion for psychology and a deep love for working with children. So naturally, being an RBT is pretty much my dream job! I am so thankful to have a job where I get to play all day, while simultaneously helping kids grow.

While this is my first job in the psychology field, I have been babysitting and nannying children with special needs (ranging from ASD to cerebral palsy) since I was 12 years old. I also volunteered in special needs classrooms (PreK-12) for the last 6 years of my schooling. Working with these kids has really changed my life, and there is nothing else I would rather do! 

​When I am not working or doing homework, you will usually find me going on hikes or visiting a local coffee shop. I also really enjoy all things cooking and baking, and when the world starts to open back up again, it will be very hard to pull me away from the art museums!

Hello! My name is Cameron Mitchell, I was born and raised in Flower Mound, Texas. I am the youngest of three brothers and two military parents. I am a parent to two dogs and one cat and love them very much!

I started working with children immediately after I graduated from high school. I never knew it was something that I wanted to do, but immediately fell in love with working with them. It brings me great joy to work and help others whenever I can, so being an RBT is a natural fit for me. I get to work with kids and to help them at the same time!
I am currently enrolled at The University of North Texas and will graduate in 2023 with my bachelor’s degree. Fun fact... I am also working to get my real estate license as I complete my senior year in college. So, you'll often find me studying in my spare time!

Hello! I was born and raised in the DFW metroplex, specifically the Keller area. I graduated high school in 2022 and headed out west to Stephenville, Texas to attend the best kept secret, Tarleton State University! I am studying Communication Sciences and disorders, in hopes to become a Speech and Language Pathologist.

I am the fourth child of eight! I know, life was never boring. That being said, I have been in the routine of taking care of others my whole life. From a young age, I interacted with children of all ages who were diagnosed with autism through a close family member. I was also exposed to ABA at a young age. I have interacted with children with special needs for as long as I can remember. I began working with children as a lifeguard giving swim lessons and began babysitting for other families at the age of 14. I have had the amazing opportunity to work at Unique Pathways the past two summers as an intern, so I am very excited to take on a more permanent position as an RBT!

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending my days out hiking, traveling, spending time with friends/family, and playing with my pets. I love new experiences and have been told I am an experience junkie! I look forward to meeting new people, and am excited to be part of the Unique Pathways family.

I plan to continue my education this spring and begin my studies towards a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and obtain my LPC Licensure.

In high school, I discovered my passion for Psychology as well as helping others and began to seek any opportunity to pursue that field. I obtained my Certified Nursing Assistant License (CNA) where I participated in clinical rounds at hospitals, dentist offices, and nursing homes. I then completed a mentorship program under the supervision of a Child Life Specialist at Baylor Scott and White.

Working with children has always been my passion and I was fortunate enough to get another opportunity to work at AlphaBest Education for two years.  The experience was invaluable and I really enjoyed working with K- 5th-grade level children in the after-school, day camp, and summer programs.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, running, watching movies with my little brother, and traveling to amazing new places!

Registered Behavior Technician

Hello everyone! I was born in chicago and moved to Texas when I was in elementary school and have been here ever since. I am the second oldest of five and a mother of one to a beautiful little boy. I am currently a student at Purdue University to get my bachelors of science in Psychology in Applied Behavior Analyst.


Hi! I have worked with children almost my whole career. I did in-home childcare/babysitting for a couple of years before being hired at a daycare as a Lead Teacher. While working at the daycare, I found that I especially loved helping children with autism. As I did more research into how to pursue this as a career, I discovered careers in ABA therapy. I immediately was intrigued by the field and wanted to join as soon as I could. I transitioned to an ABA center shortly after and received my RBT license.

I am so glad I found ABA therapy when I did and so proud to be a part of the journey with so many amazing kids and being able to watch them grow.

Outside of work I enjoy hanging out with my little family of three and my even bigger family back at home! I enjoy hiking and going on trips. I love to dance and have danced all my life. I also love to choreograph dances... for not only myself but for others!

Tierra Sanders

Registered Behavior Technician

Hi, my name is Tierra. I am a proud mother of two. I have been a Registered Behavioral Technician for 6 months, but in the ABA field since 2022. I am also student (a future Registered Nurse!) and will be graduating in 2025. I cherish my clients. I truly enjoy being a RBT.

ABA therapy was something that I had never heard of prior to entering the field. It really grew on me! Working in the ABA industry has taught so much about individuals on the spectrum. I've learned about social cues, communication techniques, triggers, positive/negative reinforcements, and conscious discipline. Since I'd never really practiced these things in my day-to-day life before entering this field, I have first-hand experience in the positive changes that can come from ABA therapy. I now practice these things daily... especially with my own little ones! ABA has even helped me evolve as a person in my personal life!

In my down time, I enjoy watching medical shows like The Good Doctor, Chicago Med, and The Resident, just to list a few. I am a strong believer in Health is Wealth, so I work out at minimum 4 days a week, but usually 5 days a week. I spend time being a big kid with my kids. My quiet time is spent doing meditation and journaling. Reading is another hobby that I enjoy doing when I have some alone time. I absolutely enjoy getting my nails and feet done and I am a facial type of gal. Self care is the best care!
I pray to be a Registered Nurse within the ABA industry. That is my ultimate end goal.

Unnati Patel

Registered Behavior Technician

Hello Everyone,
My name is Unnati Patel. I was born in Gujarat, India. I spent my 25 years living there with my family. In 2018, I received my bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Sardar Patel University in India and was a certified occupational therapist. After my receiving my undergraduate degree, I worked at a pediatric hospital, where my responsibilities included providing therapy through social and play activities, improving self-care routines (to assist with daily activities such as bathing, feeding, and grooming), motor skills, and sensory integration (or sensory-based strategies) that directly helped special kids.
I moved here in 2021 for my Master’s program (exercise science and kinesiology) at Dallas Baptist University. I chose this program because it assists people with disabilities in improving their quality of life. It also allows people with physical, cognitive, and communication impairments to do more things independently. I have over three years of experience working with children who have autism, ADHD, or are hyperactive.

Working with children has always been my passion. My goal after finishing my Master's degree is to become a BCBA. I am excited to start working in ABA and with such wonderful, growing children.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and watching movies with my family and friends. In addition, I
enjoy crafting, painting, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. I love to read
books, especially spiritual books, which are my favorites.
