Welcome — I'm Dr. Maria Niitepold
You don’t have to carry it all alone. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating PTSD, dissociation, chronic stress, and painful past experiences. Whether you're a veteran, a caregiver, or someone deeply introspective, you deserve support that honors your pace and your strength. Let’s build something steady and healing—together.
01.
Healing at the Roots
Whether you're carrying trauma or stuck in stress patterns that won’t budge, this work meets you gently. Using body-based tools like the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), we help your nervous system release what it’s held—without needing to relive it.
02.
Relational Healing & Boundaries
Spot red flags, recover from toxic or narcissistic dynamics, and raise your standards with compassion—not shame. Together, we’ll explore the patterns keeping you stuck and help you build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Focused Support & Therapy Intensives
Sometimes you don’t need long-term therapy—you need clarity, insight, or a reset. One-time consults and multi-hour intensives can help you get unstuck, navigate a turning point, or go deeper into a specific issue with care and direction. It’s therapy with intention, not obligation.

HOW I CAN HELP
The No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
