In-Person and Online Therapy In Gulf Breeze, FL
Trauma Therapy for Adults Who Carry Everything Themselves
From the outside, you may look like you have it together. You handle your responsibilities, you show up for people, and keep moving forward.
However, underneath it all, is your nervous system still running on high alert, many for many years? Do you feel like you understand why you do the things you do but feel unable to change it?
I’m Dr. Maria Niitepold, a licensed psychologist and Marine veteran offering in-person trauma therapy in Gulf Breeze, Florida. At Hayfield Healing, I work with adults who are insightful, capable, and ready to feel a meaningful internal shift. I work primarily in EMDR, Brainspotting, and the Comprehensive Resource Model. These approaches work with both the mind and nervous system, reaching experiences and reactions that insight alone may not change.

•
You are high-functioning at work and in your relationships, but underneath you are exhausted and sleep doesn't fix it

•
You live somewhere beautiful and still feel disconnected, like you are going through the motions of a life that should feel better than it does

You've had therapy in the past and found it helpful, but still struggle from the same symptoms as before
•
Something happened years ago that you thought you were over, and you're starting to realize you are not
Who finds their way here
Trauma Therapy for Professionals, Veterans, Military Families, and Other Adults In Gulf Breeze
Most of my Gulf Breeze and Pensacola area clients are people the world around them would describe as capable. They are professionals, business owners, veterans, spouses of active duty, people who have built real lives and carry real weight underneath them. The Pensacola area has a particular culture around strength and self-sufficiency. The military presence shapes that even for people who have never served. Asking for help is not something that comes naturally here, and many of the people I work with waited a long time before reaching out.
What they have in common is that talking about it has not been enough. They understand themselves. They want something to actually change.

Trauma-Informed Therapy Near You
In-Person Therapy At Our Gulf Breeze Office
My main office is located on Gulf Breeze Parkway, where I provide in-person EMDR, Brainspotting, and Comprehensive Resource Model therapy to adults from Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Navarre, Pace, Milton, and nearby communities.
This is not a waiting room full of people. It is a small, private office in a low-key building. Most people tell me they were not sure what to expect walking in the first time, and that it felt easier than they thought it would.
I'm just few minutes east of the Pensacola Bay Bridge in a quiet professional building near Oriole Beach and Tiger Point.
If you are coming from Pensacola, you are crossing the bridge and heading east along the Parkway. From Navarre, you are heading west on 98. If you're coming from Pace or Milton, you can reach the area by way of Avalon Boulevard and the Garcon Point Bridge. The drive is easy and the parking is free.

Frequently Asked Questions
MY GULF BREEZE CLIENTS ASK
More on trauma therapy
Do you offer in-person trauma therapy in Gulf Breeze?
Yes. I provide in-person trauma therapy at 3000 Gulf Breeze Parkway, Suite 19. The office serves clients from Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Navarre, Pace, Milton, Pensacola Beach, and surrounding communities.
What trauma therapy approaches do you use?
My primary modalities are EMDR, Brainspotting, and the Comprehensive Resource Model. Each approach works somewhat differently, but all can help reach trauma responses and nervous system patterns that may not change through insight or talk therapy alone. I will help determine which approach best fits your history, symptoms, and capacity for processing.
Will I have to describe everything that happened to me?
No. You are always in control of what you share. I can support you through trauma processing without needed to know all the details.
Do you work with veterans and military families?
Yes. I work with veterans, service members, adult military spouses and partners, and adult children of service members. As a Marine veteran, I understand aspects of military culture, identity, separation, and reintegration that can be difficult to explain to a civilian provider.
Is virtual trauma therapy available if I do not live near Gulf Breeze?
Yes. I offer online therapy throughout Florida and New York and in participating PSYPACT states. During the consultation, we can confirm whether I am authorized to work with you in your location and whether virtual trauma therapy is an appropriate fit.
Can I use my insurance for therapy?
I accept private pay nationwide and VA Community Care in Florida. For all other insurance, I operate as an out-of-network provider and can provide superbills for reimbursement. Learn more about my out-of-pocket fees here.
