Hayfield Healing

EMDR, Brainspotting,
& Somatic-Based Trauma Therapy

Serving New York and Florida. Telehealth available across 44+ PsyPact states.

You do not need another therapist who asks how that makes you feel. You need someone who understands that insight alone has not changed the exhaustion, the hypervigilance, or the patterns you keep repeating, and who knows how to help you actually shift them.

 

I am Dr. Maria Niitepold, a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma and somatic-based therapy across New York and Florida. Through EMDR, Brainspotting, and the Comprehensive Resource Model, I work directly with your nervous system to create change that talk therapy alone cannot reach.

 

Whether you are looking for online trauma therapy from New York or Florida, or prefer in-person sessions at my Gulf Breeze office, your healing starts with a therapist who works differently.

New York

Virtual therapy for clients in New York

Many of my New York clients juggle high-demand jobs with high expectations at home and a grueling commute that leaves little room for an in-person office visit. 

 

I provide trauma therapy via telehealth that allows busy New Yorkers to get the treatment they need from the convenience of their home or hotel room on weekday evenings and Sundays to fit your busy schedule.

Ready to regulate your nervous system?

Dr. Maria Niitepold, a trauma psychologist serving more than 40 US states

You have spent years out-performing your own internal terror, relying on sheer willpower to manage trauma, perfectionism, or emotional exhaustion. It is time to discover what your mind and body actually need to heal.

 

Not sure whether telehealth or in-person is the right fit, or whether I cover your area? That is exactly what the consultation is for. We will talk through where you are, how you would want to work, and whether my approach is right for you.

 

I take a small number of new clients at a time, so the consult matters. Fifteen minutes for both of us to decide if this is the place to start.
