Explore the patterns that shape how we eat, love, spend and connect

Heather Lowrey, M.S., LPC, LMHC

I’m a licensed therapist in both Texas (LPC) and Washington (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I completed my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University and my Bachelor of Science in Economics from Texas A&M University.
Using elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we will focus on decreasing the shame attached to compulsive behaviors and increasing self-compassion to develop a healthy intimate relationship with yourself and others.
By identifying and embracing your values, you will understand your triggers and motivations and ultimately learn effective coping mechanisms that align with the life you envision.
I am committed to creating an inclusive and accepting space for all clients. I strive to make people of all sizes, races, ethnicities, genders and orientations feel welcome, heard and valued during our time together.

Why food, sex and money?

Let’s just jump in…On the surface, food, sex, and money might seem like separate issues—but they’re all closely tied to how we try to feel safe, loved, and in control. They're the areas where many of us first learned how to cope, self-soothe, feel powerful or gain approval.

And because we can’t simply “quit” food, relationships, or money, it can be especially hard to know what a healthy relationship with them even looks like. Sometimes, the same things that are hurting us are also the things we get praised for.

You might notice yourself stuck in the same place—fixated on food or your body, caught in painful relationship patterns, or overwhelmed by guilt or fear when it comes to money—even when part of you wants to make a change.

In therapy, we can disrupt the cycle, make sense of where these behaviors come from, and explore new ways of showing up that are more in line with the life you want to build.
