This includes up to 90 minutes of communications, text messaging or direct calls, in between sessions - each week. When the 90 minutes are exceeded, then the normal hourly billing rate applies. When conducting a psychological assessment, prior to accepting the case, you will be told exactly what to expect.
Some studies indicate they lower a child empathy, but these studies are mixed. Many games do include highly graphic and disturbing images, and are not appropriate for children at certain ages. Nonviolent video games, and ones deemed age appropriate are preferable. You can find which age is appropriate using the ratings system clearly identified on all new video games.
If you or a loved one are considering therapy, I encourage you to give me a call. Choosing a therapist can be daunting, and I aim to take some of the anxiety and mystery out of the process. If we decide that you may be better served by another clinician, I will work with you to find them. I want to help you and your family find solutions.

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

Life is stressful... and it seems like a millennial qualification that it is an acceptable state of mind. Until it isn't.
To be honest, I was feeling guilty thinking my life was stressful or overwhelming. I have a great job, newly married, going on vacations, and yet I still had a feeling of being our of control. I know I was also equally stressing out my husband with my anxiety, which made it worse. So i finally decided i needed to get an expert opinion.
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

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.
