About our practice.
Our team of licensed therapists and psychologists is dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families overcome life’s challenges. We guide you toward greater self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and the development of new coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and depression. We help you identify the problem, clarify goals, create a treatment plan, track symptoms, and work with you to ensure you have the tools and education to begin reducing the frequency of therapy sessions.
Unlike other practices, our relationship does not end between therapy sessions — you are always encouraged to give your clinician a call or a text. We are always here for you.

I appreciate Unfold Psychology's "above and beyond" service, including after-hours calls and check-ins for my teenage son.

CF · Adult client · Zocdoc review
Dr. Heafey has been very helpful — the best doctor I've been to. I've had a lot of therapists over the years and he has helped me more than any of them. I am a much better person because of his help.

Janette · Adult client
There were times during college when I couldn't complete basic daily tasks. Over two years, Talia helped me map out my schedule, talked me out of skipping class, and gave me the motivation I couldn't find on my own. I've come to understand that setbacks and fears can be overcome, but not always in isolation. I'm incredibly grateful for Talia and her role in getting me to where I am today.

David is the rare person who not only can listen and compassionately hold what you are sharing, but who can offer thoughtful, actionable help when it's warranted. Working with David has been validating and helpful.

I was seeing Rachel Budnick at Unfold for couples counseling and was very happy with her approach. She has a special way of connecting with people and asks all the right questions and offers great advice. Highly recommend.
