Peter Klippel

State Administrator - Texas

With 20 years as a mental health specialist in the military, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of life’s most challenging moments.

These experiences taught me that, at the core, people are simply doing the best they can with what they have—a perspective that shapes my approach to mental health care. Today, I’m honored to work with Family Care Center, where individuals entrust us to be part of their journey toward healing and growth. Being chosen to support clients as they find resilience and strength isn’t just work; it’s a privilege.

Dr. Reginald Lloyd, MD

Through my life and academic experiences, I have discovered that one of the greatest keys to wellness lies in nurturing positive relationships with friends and family.

As a physician specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, my treatment approach is deeply family-oriented, emphasizing empathic listening and genuine information sharing. I strive to inspire the next generation to value the importance of fostering internal strength.

My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered…

Josefina Cisneros, LMHC-QS, LPC

Clinical Therapist

Making the decision to address life issues affecting your mental health can often feel overwhelming and difficult. As a counselor, I take great privilege in helping adults work through personal issues and life circumstances that cause mental and emotional distress.

I also believe it is important to consider the spiritual component of a person’s psyche. Thus, when a client chooses to do so, I consider it of upmost respect when I have the opportunity to help clients incorporate their biblical faith-based beliefs into their therapeutic work. So, if you ae ready, join me on a winding path of self-discovery. Discover things about yourself that you’ve never known or considered. The answers that lead to healing lie within you. My job is to help you uncover answers and bring resolution to difficulties you’ve been experiencing with grace, knowledge, truth, and understanding.

Are you surviving, but struggling to thrive? Feeling angry, sad, anxious? Has your world shrunk to the point where you are feeling isolated and lonely? Have you or a loved one experienced terrible things in the past? Healing from anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and trauma (including PTSD) takes courage, and the bravest step of all is to reach out for help.
