Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Eating disorders are complex and often rooted in deeper emotional, relational, and cultural experiences. I take a nonjudgmental, whole-person approach that addresses both behaviors and the underlying patterns driving them. Together, we work toward a more peaceful relationship with food, body, and self, integrating evidence-based approaches with compassionate, individualized care.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
Eating disorders can be debilitating and isolating, impacting all aspects of an individual's life. As a therapist specializing in eating disorders, I offer a compassionate and comprehensive approach to helping clients overcome their struggles.
In therapy sessions, I work with clients to explore the underlying factors that contribute to their eating disorder, such as body image issues, trauma, and anxiety. Through a combination of talk therapy and evidence-based techniques, I help clients develop new coping skills and strategies for managing their symptoms.
I also provide education and support around nutrition, body image, and self-care, empowering clients to make positive changes in their lives. I understand that eating disorders can affect not only the individual but also their loved ones, so I also offer family therapy and support as needed.
At my practice, I offer a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their emotions, work through challenges, and build resilience. I believe in a holistic approach to healing, addressing not just the physical symptoms of the eating disorder but also the emotional and psychological aspects.
If you or a loved one are struggling with an eating disorder, know that you don't have to face it alone. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards healing and recovery.

I provide treatment for eating disorders, helping individuals develop a healthier relationship with food, body, and self. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and behavioral interventions, I support clients in addressing disordered eating patterns, underlying emotional factors, and distorted beliefs about weight and appearance. My work focuses on restoring balance, improving self-awareness, and building sustainable habits that promote both physical and emotional well-being, empowering clients toward long-term recovery and a more positive sense of self.

Doolittle Therapy Group
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
At Doolittle Therapy Group, we understand that eating disorders impact not only the individual, but also the relationships and emotional connections surrounding them. Using an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and family-centered approach, we help clients and their families explore the underlying emotional experiences and relational patterns that often contribute to disordered eating.
Rather than focusing solely on behaviors, we work to uncover the emotions, attachment needs, and cycles of disconnection that may be driving them. As families learn to respond with greater understanding and emotional attunement, individuals often feel less alone, more supported, and better equipped to move toward healing in a connected and sustainable way. We work often with higher levels of care and have experience within those treatment centers, so we are an outpatient step down for those transitioning out after treatment as well.

Abilene is a West Texas city home to Dyess Air Force Base—host of a B-1 Lancer bomber wing—as well as three Christian universities: Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian University, and McMurry University, giving the city a distinctive identity anchored by military service and faith-based education. The strong evangelical Christian cultural context shapes how mental health is discussed and accessed in the community, with many residents preferring faith-integrated therapy or pastoral counseling as a primary mode of support. Military and veteran mental health needs—particularly trauma, PTSD, and family stress—are a significant part of the Abilene therapy landscape, and the city's position in remote West Texas means that access to specialist care can require telehealth or significant travel. Common therapy concerns include faith and mental health, military service and transition stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of living in a close-knit, religiously conservative community in an isolated regional city.
