How Somatic Therapy is Different :
Instead of focusing only on thoughts or beliefs, this approach:
Recognizes that your body holds important information about your past, especially where stress, protection, and survival patterns live.
By paying attention to your body’s reactions, not just your thoughts, you begin to:
Understand how your history shows up in the present
Meet old wounds with awareness instead of avoidance
Shift out of survival responses into safety and regulation
What you’ll notice through Somatic Therapy in Pasadena, CA
→ Tune into physical sensations
(e.g., tension, tightness, warmth, or numbness)
→ Recognize impulses and urges
(such as wanting to move, protect, or withdraw)
→ Notice habitual protective patterns
(ways your nervous system learned to keep you safe)
This work invites you to:
Meet your Pasadena Somatic Therapist
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I work with children, families, adults who are navigating the lasting impacts of complex trauma—whether that comes from generational wounds, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’ve had to carry more than your share for a long time. You deserve space to heal and support that actually meets you where you are.
Over the course of my career, I’ve supported people in reconnecting to their “factory settings” who they were before everything happened, before they had to adapt, shrink, or survive in ways that no longer serve them.
This work is deeply personal to me because I understand what it’s like to not feel safe in your own body after “all the stuff” happened. That disconnection, the second-guessing, the constant scanning, it can be exhausting. I believe you deserve to feel grounded in your body again, to trust your instincts, and to live a life that genuinely feels like yours. I’m here to support you in getting there.
JENNIFER STREHLE LMFT
In Other Words
Your body remembers what your mind may have forgotten. Somatic and Trauma work helps you listen to those signals, so healing can happen from the inside out.

Yes, I take Cigna, Aetna and Optum health insurance through. If you’re unsure about your coverage, I’m happy to support you in checking.
Superbills can also be provided for other insurance companies, that I am Out of Network. so you can use out of network benefits.
Why? I know that paying out-of-pocket can feel overwhelming. I’m happy, to help, to provide a monthly statement (a “Superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. I am happy to assist you through Thrizer
Cash Pay:
Some individuals want their Story Rewritten without insurance restrictions.
Why? Because real healing takes time, and your story is unique. Therapy isn’t about following a script or meeting quotas, it’s about creating a space where you feel seen and understood. Staying independent allows me to tailor our work to what you truly need, without being restricted by session limits or standardized treatments. This means we can go at your pace and focus on what matters most to you. This allows us to focus solely on your well-being without the constraints imposed by insurance requirements. Rest assured, our priority is to ensure that you receive the highest level of care and support throughout your therapeutic journey.
If the fee feels like a stretch, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I offer sliding-scale options because I believe therapy should be accessible. If you feel like we’d be a good fit, we can find a way to make it work. You're not alone in this—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
As a general rule, call your insurance company prior to our first session in order to verify out-of-network reimbursement and coverage by asking the following:Does my plan include out-of-network, outpatient mental health coverage?
If so, what percentage of the fee do you reimburse for therapy with a licensed LMFT?
Do I have an annual deductible and has it been met?
Is there a limit to the number of sessions my plan covers per calendar year?
How do I submit claims?
Some carriers have been authorizing Telehealth during the COVID pandemic but intend to eventually drop this coverage. Clients must contact their plan administrator to verify that their PPO plan covers outpatient mental health via telehealth with an out-of-network provider.
