Somatic Based Therapy in Palm Bay, FL
Healing Happens in Both the Mind and the Body.
VIRTUAL THERAPY AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA & FLORIDA
Your body remembers what your mind has worked so hard to forget...
Maybe you've spent years trying to think your way out of anxiety, trauma, or overwhelm, but nothing seems to stick. That's because healing isn't just about changing your thoughts—it's also about helping your nervous system feel safe again. Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body, understand its signals, and move beyond survival mode.
You might feel...
Constantly on edge, even when nothing is wrong.
Disconnected from your body or unsure how you really feel.
Stuck in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown.
Like you're always bracing for something bad to happen.
Exhausted from living in survival mode.
Tense, restless, or unable to fully relax.
Frustrated that you've tried talking about your experiences but still don't feel different.
Somatic therapy offers...
A gentle, body-based approach to healing that helps you understand your nervous system instead of fighting against it. Together, we'll slow down, build awareness of your body's signals, regulate stress responses, and create a greater sense of safety, connection, and ease in your everyday life.
Does this feel familiar?
You know your experiences are in the past, but your body doesn't seem to know that.
No matter how much insight you have, your heart still races, your shoulders stay tense, your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios, or you find yourself shutting down when life feels overwhelming. It's like your body is carrying the weight of everything you've been through.
You want more than understanding why you feel this way. You want to actually feel different—to breathe deeply, relax, trust yourself, and move through life without constantly being in survival mode.
You're tired of your nervous system running the show.
In our work together, we will…
…Slow down and learn to listen to what your body has been trying to communicate all along. Together, we'll gently explore your nervous system's patterns, increase your capacity to tolerate emotions, regulate stress responses, and reconnect you with a sense of safety within yourself. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, present, and connected so you can respond to life instead of simply reacting to it.

Hi, I'm Leticia, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist with advanced training in somatic therapy. I help adults heal from trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, and life transitions by integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with body-based approaches that support lasting healing.
Over the years, I've seen that insight alone isn't always enough. Many people understand why they struggle, yet their bodies still feel stuck in survival mode. That's why I incorporate somatic therapy into my work—to help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and experience healing on a deeper level.
Here's why I'm passionate about this work: Our bodies are incredibly wise. The tension, overwhelm, numbness, or anxiety you're experiencing isn't a sign that something is wrong with you—it's often your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to help you survive. Healing isn't about forcing your body to change. It's about helping it learn that it no longer has to carry the weight of the past alone.
I know you’re tired of feeling…
...like your body is working against you. You're exhausted from always feeling tense, overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally flooded. Maybe you've spent years trying to think your way through your struggles, only to find yourself reacting in the same ways over and over again.
You long to feel calm without forcing it. You want to trust your body instead of fearing its reactions, feel present in your relationships, and experience a sense of ease that's been missing for far too long.

You've been surviving for so long...

You deserve more than simply coping with your symptoms. You deserve to feel grounded, present, and at home in your own body.

Somatic Based Therapy FAQs
-
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to mental health that recognizes the connection between your mind, body, and nervous system. Rather than focusing only on thoughts, we'll also pay attention to physical sensations, emotions, breathing, movement, and the ways your body responds to stress.
-
No. Somatic therapy doesn't require touch or physical exercises you're uncomfortable with. Most sessions involve talking alongside gentle awareness of your body's sensations, breathing, posture, or nervous system responses. Everything we do is collaborative and based on your comfort level.
-
Traditional therapy often focuses on understanding thoughts and emotions. Somatic therapy includes that work while also helping your body process stress and trauma. Because trauma and chronic stress are stored in the nervous system, involving the body can lead to deeper, more lasting healing.
-
Somatic therapy can be helpful for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, chronic stress, eating disorders, postpartum mental health concerns, grief, relationship difficulties, and anyone who feels disconnected from their body or stuck in survival mode.
-
If you've spent years understanding your patterns but still feel stuck, constantly overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or trapped in survival mode, somatic therapy may offer a different path toward healing. You don't have to force yourself to feel better—together, we'll help your nervous system discover what safety feels like again.
