I specialize in working with the queer/LGBTQIA+ community, eating disorders, and severe mental illness such as bipolar disorder. I also work with those working on their relationship with money and their finances. You may feel anxious or depressed, that your old ways of doing things are not working anymore. You may feel overwhelmed and like you could use a supportive guide in facing life's challenges. Or maybe you do not know why you are feeling the things you feel or doing the things you are doing. In our sessions, we can explore all of this and more in a supportive, safe, and authentic environment. It is an honor to meet you.

My name is Dr. R. Austin Heafey - I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, 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.
