Angel Ramos Estrada

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Killeen, TX


My name is Angel Ramos Estrada, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Keystone Clinical Services PLLC. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and veterans navigate life's challenges while fostering resilience, healing, and personal growth.

Before becoming a social worker, I proudly served over 20 years in the United States Army. My military experience shaped my values of integrity, compassion, and service, which continue to guide my work as a therapist. Throughout my career, I have worked in school social work, hospice care, and outpatient mental health, providing support to clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to identify their strengths and achieve meaningful change.

As a bilingual clinician fluent in English and Spanish, I am committed to making quality mental health care accessible to diverse communities. I believe every individual has the capacity for growth, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Dr. Victor Wiesner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Conroe, TX


Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.
