Meet your somatic trauma therapist in Miami, FL

Meet Isabel Feibert (LMFTA)

So often, trauma convinces you that something is wrong with you, when really your body and mind has just been trying to protect you from pain.


In my years of practice in somatic trauma therapy, I've watched people heal in ways they didn't think were possible. As the nervous system releases what it's been holding, the anxiety and heaviness begin to lift, and you start to feel like yourself again.

My approach to Somatic Trauma Therapy in Miami, FL

During somatic trauma therapy we go beyond simply talking about what happened. Trauma can become stored in the brain and body, shaping how you feel, what you believe about yourself, and how you respond long after the experience is over.

Together, we’ll work with the memories, emotions, body sensations, and protective patterns that are still carrying the past so they can finally begin to shift.

The goal isn’t just to understand your wounds or cope with them better, but to create lasting change in how you feel, respond, and experience yourself.

Is It Actually Possible To Heal From Trauma?

Yes. And research is beginning to show us why.

When trauma is processed in the context of safety, the brain has the ability to update how it stores painful memories, a process researchers call memory reconsolidation. This means the memory itself does not disappear, but the nervous system's response to it fundamentally changes.

After trauma therapy many people experience a new sense of safety in their own body. The ability to trust themselves and their own instincts again. Relationships that feel nourishing rather than exhausting. A return to joy and action that trauma had quietly taken away. Approaching life from a genuine sense of confidence and self worth rather than from fear or self doubt.

Healing from trauma is not about becoming someone new. It is about coming back to yourself.

Somatic Trauma Therapy in Miami, FL Can Help With

What to Expect in Somatic Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy is never about forcing you to relive or re-narrate painful experiences before you are ready. The process begins with building safety, both within the therapeutic relationship and within your own nervous system. Nothing moves faster than you are ready for.

  • A thorough, compassionate first session to understand your history and goals
  • Stabilization and resource-building before any deeper processing begins
  • Evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs
  • Regular check-ins to ensure you feel grounded and in control throughout

How Trauma Therapy Supports Healing

Trauma lives in the body as much as in the mind. One of the most important things to understand about somatic trauma therapy is that healing is not about forgetting what happened or convincing yourself it was not that bad. It is about helping your nervous system complete what it could not finish at the time.

When trauma is processed fully, something shifts. The memories do not disappear, but they stop feeling like they are happening right now. The triggers that used to send you into survival mode begin to lose their grip. The beliefs about yourself that formed in the aftermath of painful experiences start to soften and change.

Many clients describe a growing sense of being present in their own life again. Of feeling lighter, less reactive, and more able to show up fully in their relationships and daily experience. Healing from trauma does not mean becoming someone new. It means returning to yourself.

Our Approach to Somatic Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy at its best is not a technique applied to a problem. It is a relationship in which healing becomes possible. The foundation of the work is safety, consistency, and genuine attunement, because for many people who have experienced trauma, a therapeutic relationship that feels predictably safe is itself something new.

Sessions draw on EMDR, somatic awareness, attachment-informed care, and trauma-focused cognitive approaches, always shaped around what you need and what feels right for you at each stage of the process. You will never be pushed to go somewhere you are not ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is somatic therapy and how is it different from talk therapy?

Somatic therapy works with the body, not just the mind, to help you actually heal from trauma rather than just understand it intellectually. Many people spend years talking about what happened without feeling different. Somatic work retrains your nervous system itself, so old patterns of anxiety, shutdown, or reactivity can genuinely shift, not just become easier to explain.

How does somatic therapy help with trauma and anxiety?

Trauma can leave the nervous system stuck in fight, flight, or freeze long after the danger has passed. Somatic therapy helps the body complete those stuck stress responses and return to a state of safety, which reduces symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional shutdown.

What is the cost of sessions and do you accept insurance?

Sessions are typically 50-60 minutes and are $220 per session. I do not accept insurance at this time. Being private pay allows me to prioritize holistic care that prioritizes your unique needs.

What happens in a somatic therapy session?

Sessions work with your body, not just your thoughts. You won't be asked to relive what happened in detail or push through anything overwhelming. Instead, we go at a pace your nervous system can actually handle, so healing happens gradually and safely instead of all at once. Over time, many clients feel calmer, more grounded, and less controlled by anxiety or exhaustion.

Do you offer somatic therapy in Miami, FL or online?

Yes. I offer somatic therapy in Miami, FL, and online throughout Texas and Florida, so you can access support in a way that fits your life.
