Meet our founder
Dr. Austin Heafey
My name is Dr. R. Austin Heafey – I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults, parents and families. While every client is unique, my fundamental aim remains the same: improve self-esteem, build self-confidence and enrich my patient’s self-worth. When a person has faith in their abilities and feels comfortable with who they are, they are better able to engage with the world they live in, the family they belong to and the life they deserve to experience. Put simply, my objective is to improve my patient’s quality of life.
I have experience using a number of treatment modalities including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength Based Counseling, Interpersonal Therapy, Developmental and Logotherapy. Additionally, I am trained to administer a wide range of psychological assessments and can develop academic, social and psychological treatment plans.
I work hard to ensure the best results for my patients, and avoid presenting as cryptic or aloof. In therapy, I meet my clients where they are and support them on the journey to where they want to be. Do not hesitate to contact Unfold Psychology; we have many tools to support your child, your family and you!
Please give me a call to discuss treatment options – I meet my patients where they are in their journey!

Meet Sammy!

Two days a week, for those privileged few, Sammy works with me to help alleviate fear, quell anxiety and generally improve the quality of everyone’s day. If you, or your child, is apprehensive about therapy, and think it would be more comfortable having both myself and my little buddy in the room – then I encourage you to ask what days Sammy and I work together, as a team. You will learn for yourself that I have undersold my little buddy’s innate qualities to make everyone, but especially younger children, feel comfortable and calm in an unfamiliar environment.Â
Just like everyone at Unfold Psychology, Sammy is here for you. To meet you where you are, and support you on your journey to where you want to be!

What our members are saying...
Richard Austin Heafey is not your usual therapist. He truly goes above and beyond to do everything he can for his patient and their family. I can't tell you how many times he has hopped on the phone to help us with an urgent situation or called our son to check-in. As parents of a teenager struggling with a multitude of challenges, Dr. Heafey has been a God-send and we could not be more grateful. Most therapists will only speak with you during your session. Dr. Heafey truly cares and that's clearly why he's willing to respond to text messages and even after hour calls. We do our best to make sure it's not a regular thing but it's comforting to know that he will be there for his patients and families if we needed him."
Dr. Heafey has been so helpful. Most therapists/psychologists just let you talk the whole time and never really give you any feedback. Dr. Heafey always gives good feedback and also provides you with the tools you need to succeed. He has helped me learn how to redirect my thoughts. I have become more balanced and resilient and have a much better sense of self-control now. I can finally say that I am done with therapy and can live a better life thanks to Dr. Heafey."
Dr. Heafey is an incredibly gifted and educated licensed clinical psychologist, who has counseled me on and off for several years. His amicable character, and docile approach make his counseling laid back yet highly personalized. Through his current knowledge of clinical research, Dr. Heafey is by far one of the most informed psychologist I have seen, and practices with extensive care for his patiences even outside of regular sessions. I highly recommend Dr. Heafey, his talent speaks for itself."
I found Dr. Heafey and I couldn't be happier with my decision to start working with him. He has an uncanny way of understanding and initiating discussion around topics that I typically swerve to avoid. He allows me get my thoughts out and then gives me feedback that is direct and constructive. He's helped me set expectations of life - which seems simple but has really calm my nerves. I'm also very glad to have a "neutral" person to talk through my thoughts with instead of burdening my family with any venting I need to do."
