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 can also use the same approaches in individual sessions to promote the release of traumatic distress.

I'm a somatic therapist integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based (Dharma-informed) practices, and the Enneagram to support deep healing.
Many of the people who come to me feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. They may feel depressed, low in energy, disconnected from themselves, or frustrated that their relationships don’t seem to work the way they want them to. Some feel like they aren’t showing up as the partner or parent they hoped to be and don’t know how to change that. Often they’ve tried therapy before and gained insight, but the deeper patterns haven’t shifted. My work is designed for people who want to look more closely at what is actually driving their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so that real movement can happen.

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.
