Emotions can be challenging! You don't need to ride a roller coaster or have emotions run your life. You really don't. Together, we can identify the causes of whatever anxiety, depression, stress, relationship or sexual issues you're facing, and work to resolve them. What our work together could look like is that we identify what Internal Family Systems and IFS Therapy refer to as the parts of your personality. Believe it or not, even when they lead to experiences that may seem negative – self-sabotaging behaviors, fear, procrastination, relationship issues – each part or aspect of you is actually trying to help get a need met.

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.

I'm inspired by engaging people to create meaning and purpose in their lives. I believe that it only takes one person to change the trajectory of our lives in an impactful way. My approach is to foster agency, trust, and commitment to take the small steps necessary to showing up in your life in a way that is more aligned with your own core values and ideals. I have worked in various treatment settings ranging from inpatient psych, residential, and outpatient with teens and adults. Prior to becoming a therapist I was a professional athlete and understand the difficulties in balancing performance and personal development.

Are you worried about your child, teen or young adult but unsure how to help them? You can see something has changed in them: perhaps they seem depressed, anxious, or isolated in ways they didn’t used to be. You want them to learn skills to deal with life's challenges and resolve the issues that are holding them back. Because more than anything, you want to see your child thrive. My practice focuses on the unique needs of children 4+ through young adulthood and their families. I create developmentally appropriate, customized treatment plans using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, art and play therapy interventions.

If you are seeking a therapist for yourself, or for your child or teen, you may have observed concerning changes in one or more important domains: social, academic, or behavioral. You, or your child or teen, may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or less pleasure in activities previously enjoyed, or perhaps may be experiencing less joy and success – or more frustration, fear, or isolation – in school, at home, or in peer relationships. As a marriage and family therapist, I help children, teens, and adults to thrive – in school, in their families, in relationships … in life. My style is collaborative, skills-based, and respectful.

I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I began my career as a para-professional working with families of children with developmental disabilities. I obtained my Doctor of Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium in 2013. I have worked with adults and children/adolescents in a variety of different settings and contexts, including individual, family, couples and group therapy. I am trained to provide evidence based treatment in a flexible manner.
