Welcome to Haven Trauma Psychology
Professional Therapy
Life can be beautiful, painful, and everything in between; sometimes events or emotions are more than we
know how to deal with. I provide psychotherapy based in compassion and acceptance, and using
scientifically validated treatments, to help you move forward, into a more balanced and rewarding life.
(Video telehealth therapy available in Massachusetts and New York.)
Meet Dr. Thirkield
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Over my 20 years as a practicing psychologist, I have integrated the acceptance and deep listening of traditional therapy, with the powerful protocols of contemporary evidence based treatments, shown by research to produce long-lasting positive change. I offer a compassionate, interactive, and sometimes lighthearted therapy space. While therapy sometimes evokes tears, laughter can also be part of healing.
I specialize in therapy for trauma-related mental health concerns, as well as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, anger issues, insomnia, nightmares, grief, life transitions, and whole health integration. Most of my clients come to me with a past or present marked by pain and frustration; using integrative, evidence-based treatments, we work together to get you to a new place, one of greater hope, health, and fulfillment.
I work with clients from diverse cultural, life stage, ethnic, racial, economic, gender identity, sexuality, and spiritual backgrounds. I am deeply committed to providing a welcoming and safe therapy space, where you are seen, valued, and respected.
I offer video telehealth sessions to clients in Massachusetts and New York, offering both daytime and evening appointments.
