Therapy with Nicole San Martin
I see patterns and notice things that other therapy missed. My clients often come to me when they've done years of talking about their struggles but still feel stuck.
Do you know nothing is wrong, but your body keeps acting like it is?
Do you find yourself anxious, overwhelmed, or wanting to escape situations that should feel safe?
Many people come to therapy expecting their thoughts to solve everything. But often, the problem isn't in your thoughts. It's in your nervous system.
When the body gets nervous, logic isn't always enough to calm it.
Somatic Therapy With Me
Talk therapy can be incredibly helpful. But for many people, there comes a point where insight alone is not enough.
In somatic therapy, we pay attention to what your nervous system is communicating through bodily sensations. Together, we'll learn how your body responds to stress, relationships, and perceived danger. You'll begin recognizing patterns that happen automatically and learn how to give your nervous system the signals and input it needs to feel safe.
Modalities I Use
Somatic Therapy
Helps you understand and work directly with your nervous system so your body learns how to relax, connect, and feel safe.
​Trauma Incident Reduction
Helps process experiences that continue to create emotional and physical reactions in the present.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT)
Builds practical skills for managing emotions, handling stress, and improving relationships.
Psychoeducation
Helps you understand how your brain and body work together so you can stop fighting yourself and start working with your system.
The goal isn't to manage symptoms forever. The goal is to help your body respond differently so calm becomes automatic instead of something you have to constantly work for.
See The World Differently
When your body learns safety, life feels different.

About Nicole San Martin
My therapy is designed for people who feel like they've reached the limits of insight alone. Understanding why something happens is important, but real change often happens when the body learns something new.
I focus on somatic therapy because I've experienced firsthand how powerful it can be. I also believe it’s crucial to be fully trained in how to help clients work directly with the nervous system. This work allows us to go deeper than traditional talk therapy and create changes that ripple through nearly every relationship in your life.
Clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and extremely non-judgmental. There is nothing you could say in session that would make me judge you. I bring enthusiasm, curiosity, and problem-solving into our work together. My goal is to help you understand your psychology so well that you know how to listen to your body and trust what it's telling you.
Born and raised in Miami, I'm half Argentinian and fluent in Spanish. I live in Coral Gables and regularly practice yoga, mindfulness, and other activities that help me stay connected to my own body. I also have two cats currently living with my parents because my partner is allergic, and I miss them every day.
