OVERVIEW

A compassionate space to heal.

Whether you are mourning the loss of a loved one, navigating the end of a relationship, or coping with a life-altering medical diagnosis, grief does not need to be rushed or explained away. Our clinicians adopt a strong relational approach, tailoring treatment to your specific needs within an unconditionally supportive environment that honors your natural human responses and provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space to heal.

WHO WE HELP

Common reasons clients seek our help.

Grief takes many forms. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Death of a loved one
Divorce or relational grief
Caregiver burnout
Identity transitions
Traumatic loss
Grief connected to a child's experience

OUR APPROACH

Exploring the depths of loss.

Symptoms of grief often come in the form of social isolation, difficulty finding meaning, loss of interest in previously pleasurable activities, low mood, a loss of belief or hope, decreased interest in intimacy, sometimes a reliance on maladaptive coping strategies, or an inability to control one's emotions. Our clinicians utilize evidence-based approaches to help you move through the depths of loss at your own pace, including:

Mindfulness-Based Interventions

For stress management and present-moment awareness.

Psychodynamic Therapy

For deeper insight into unconscious patterns.

Our goal is to help you develop the emotional resilience and coping strategies needed to navigate this transition — ultimately helping you integrate your loss in a way that allows you to eventually embrace a hopeful future and unfold your life once more.

"Grief is the price we pay for love. It is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love."

— Queen Elizabeth II

In their own words.

Dr. Heafey has had an incredible positive impact on me. He was able to very quickly identify underlying causes for issues that my previous therapists had all missed, and we either focused on them in our sessions or he gave me referrals where appropriate. I've grown so much and function so much better thanks to all the effort he puts in. He cares deeply about his patients and will always go the extra mile for them.

Dr. Heafey and his team at Unfold Psychology is amazing. I have been working with Dr Heafey for 3 years now and it's completely changed the way I see myself and attitude towards life. The Executive functioning, run by Talia Prince was life changing. I was horrible at following through, staying motivated and life management. I noticed great change just after 6 months of the EF program. Talia is incredible and works harder for you than anyone has before. Highly recommend Unfold and the EF program for anyone struggling with life management.

Best therapist I've known. Helped me through my couple years of college and dealing with PTSD, relationships and anxiety. I am so grateful to know him and to have had him there for my care. He feels so safe and creates such a safe space for you to explore and express your emotions.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does therapy cost?

Session fees range from $225–$550 depending on the service. We are an out-of-network practice, which means we don’t bill insurance companies directly. Instead, we provide superbills to make that process easy, and most of our clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance.

Do you accept insurance?

We are out-of-network with all insurance plans. Many of our clients use out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for a significant portion of our fees. In 2025, our insurance specialist helped clients recover over $54,000 in insurance reimbursements — and that doesn’t include superbill submissions. We provide detailed superbills and can help you understand your benefits before you start.

Can I contact my therapist between sessions?

Yes! This is one of the many things that makes our practice different from traditional models. Even when your therapy visits end, the door remains open — you are always encouraged to give your clinician a call or a text. You will have direct access to your therapist, with calls returned within two hours. We are here for you.

How long will I be in therapy?

It varies. Some clients come for a specific issue and finish in a few months; others stay longer for ongoing support. We’ll talk about your goals early on and revisit them together as things shift.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes — we offer private, secure telehealth sessions to residents anywhere in California, in addition to in-person sessions at our four Bay Area locations.
