Relationships are complicated. We all need someone to occasionally help us make sense of our current situation. Women face unique issues and experiences. Motherhood, work & school issues, family conflict, & other problems can add up.

College students, I see you. It can be overwhelming to be in college while trying to figure out what you want your life to look like on the other side. College life is unlike anything you've experienced so far. Personal therapy can help you cope, reduce anxiety/depression, or deal with childhood trauma. Flexible scheduling is available.

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.

Tracie Bernal

Therapist

Virtual • Mansfield, TX


I believe healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that combines evidence-based therapy with a genuine, collaborative relationship.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, stress, and family conflict. I also enjoy helping clients overcome people-pleasing, establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and process difficult life experiences that continue to impact the present.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 19 years working in public education, helping children, teens, and families navigate emotional challenges, strengthen communication, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. That experience continues to shape my approach by meeting clients where they are and focusing on their unique strengths.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco, TX

Searching for therapists in Waco starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Waco counselors, look for therapists whose listed specialties match your needs. Their profiles can also show training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

In a smaller city like Waco, local therapist availability can vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, which appointment times work for your calendar, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Waco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details, and are ready to take new patients. You can browse therapists in Waco, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
