Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
As a therapist specializing in weight loss, I understand that losing weight is not just about diet and exercise. It's also about understanding the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to weight gain, such as stress, emotional eating, and negative body image.
In therapy sessions, I work with clients to develop personalized weight loss strategies that take into account their unique needs and goals. We explore the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to weight gain, and work on developing healthy coping mechanisms to manage these factors. This may include developing mindfulness practices, improving self-esteem, and addressing negative body image.
I also believe that sustainable weight loss requires a holistic approach that takes into account the client's lifestyle, relationships, and overall well-being. I work with clients to develop healthy habits and behaviors that can be maintained over the long-term, and we develop realistic goals that are achievable and sustainable.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on helping clients achieve their goals in a way that is healthy and sustainable. I believe that everyone deserves to feel good in their body, and I am committed to helping my clients achieve their weight loss goals in a way that supports their overall well-being.
If you are struggling with weight loss and are ready to take the first step towards a healthier and happier life, contact me today to schedule a consultation.

I provide counseling support for individuals struggling with weight and seeking weight loss, with a focus on the psychological and emotional challenges that impact motivation, consistency, and self-perception. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral strategies and values-based interventions, I help clients address barriers like self-doubt, discouragement, and cycles of avoidance or inconsistency. My work emphasizes building mental resilience, strengthening motivation, and developing a sustainable mindset that supports long-term change and overall well-being.

Beth Clardy Lewis
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Weight loss is more than a physical journey — it’s emotional, behavioral, and deeply personal. I help clients understand their habits, relationship with food, and the psychological patterns that shape self-care. Through a blend of therapy and mindset coaching, we create sustainable changes rooted in self-respect rather than shame. My work centers on emotional freedom, balance, and long-term wellbeing.

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.
