I am Dr. Carmelo Isales, a psychotherapist, specializing in marital and family dynamics, and founder of Prism Family Counseling INC. I am aware of what it means to lose, to rebuild, and to transform pain into self-worth. I have learned through 20 years of practice, that the strength of treatment usually involves the discovery of parental wounds and its impact on current family functioning. I specifically use a safe triadic approach with mother, children, and father together if available. I can also use the same approaches in individual sessions to promote the release of traumatic distress.

My clients are sensitive, intuitive, often deeply feeling humans who find me when they've tried everything to feel better and realized the answer has to come from somewhere deeper. Maybe they’re tired of the same old thought spirals, the same old relationship patterns, the same old doom-scrolling-to-dissociate at the end of the day. Many have gone through faith shifts and are finding their way to a spirituality (or a life) that actually fits who they are now. Some are carrying trauma that's ready to be put down, and some just need a place to slow down and actually hear themselves think. If any of this resonates, welcome.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
