Heidi Mayes

Heidi Mayes, TTU Intern Supervised by Marie Luna, LPC -S

Hello! My name is Heidi Mayes, and I’m a graduate student at Texas Tech University pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve proudly called Lubbock home for the past five years, where I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2023. My passion for mental health, paired with a strong connection to my community, led me to pursue a career in counseling.

As a counseling intern, I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for every client. I’m especially passionate about supporting and advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and believe that every individual deserves compassion, respect, and care.

My clinical interests include working with children, adolescents, and adults, and I bring experience supporting children in foster care and post-adoption, as well as college students navigating life transitions.

My areas of focus include grief, adverse childhood experiences, anxiety, and depression. I approach each client with empathy, authenticity, and a person-centered mindset, encouraging you to share your story in your own time and way. I believe that counseling is a powerful journey of healing and self-discovery — and it’s an honor to walk alongside you as you grow into your most authentic self.

We all have a story to tell. It would be a privilege to hear yours.

Heidi is accepting clients beginning August 2025.
Sliding Scale is $25.

Coaching Versus Therapy

 

These are two VERY different experiences.  You get to choose what serves you best in your life today.

As a therapist, Bethany listens and uses evidence-based approaches that she's learned in school and in trainings.  It's such valuable work.  We dive deep in the trauma and the pain of the past, and we explore different ways to frame and shape those experiences.  As a therapy client, you will gain psycho-education and knowledge of current research-based practices and be challenged to implement changes in your thoughts, feelings and actions.

As a coach, Bethany is a mirror: reflecting and channeling.  She is a vessel and uses her energetic responses and embodied experiences to support you.  As a coaching client, we focus on upleveling your experience through energetic, embodied practices, accessing your consciousness through accessing the collective healing of the Universe.

Bethany is the same person, but these are two VERY different healing experiences she uses to support you.  As a therapist, Bethany does not discuss religion or spirituality without prompting; however, as a coach, our entire work is focused on accessing the energies of the Universe and ourselves.

Artistic Truths

 

The logo of Phoenix Moon Healing is in the shape of a moon to signify our connection to the earth and our spirit animals.  It is a call to remember to access the parts of us that the world has quieted with its structure, rules and bullshit.  A call to howl at the moon and access our aligned self that is raw and vulnerable, to bring the yin and the yang of the feminine and masculine energies.  The phoenix signifies our constant evolution, becoming and unbecoming, all the same and all different.  The phoenix is our steady energetic signature of strength as we activate and access our highest self.
