Jovi Peterson

Jovi Peterson

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Jovelyn, but most people call me Jovi. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a diverse background working with families, children, teens, and adults. I’m passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges and supporting them on their journey toward personal growth, inner peace, and greater life satisfaction.

My approach is direct, caring, and genuine—and I like to bring in a bit of humor when it helps lighten the process. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering. While it can feel intimidating to start, if you’re open and ready to do the work, I’ll be there to guide and encourage you every step of the way.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m a wife, working mom, and Marine Veteran, which gives me a unique perspective on resilience, transitions, and balancing multiple roles. I understand life’s ups and downs from both a personal and professional lens, and I bring that understanding into the therapy room.

Michelle Vernon

Michelle Vernon

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi there and welcome! My name is Michelle, and I'm glad you found your way here. Life has a way of introducing anxiety, stress, trauma and grief when we least expect it. I'm here to support you in returning to a place where you feel safe, self aware, and empowered. I believe we all have the capacity to be self-healers. I've worked in several realms of healing and medicine for more than 12 years, and I approach my therapeutic connections with warmth and curiosity. I lovingly encourage you to come as you are. My goal is to know you, not change you, and support whichever problems you feel ready to address with a transparent and authentic presence.

I have experience working with adults, teens, groups, couples, families, and first responders and military, in managing struggles that come with depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, addiction, self acceptance and identity questioning, grief, adjustment issues, interpersonal concerns, and women's, LGBTQIA+, or BIPOC issues.

We will work toward your goals using trauma-informed, mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and gestalt therapy with plenty of education along the way. Regular feedback is important to see what patterns are running the show on a subconscious level. I believe everyone deserves the chance to live their lives in their truest form, with care, respect and self-empowerment.

Carolyn Jasculca

Carolyn Jasculca

Therapist

Virtual • California


Carolyn is driven by a vision to create a kinder humanity—one nervous system at a time. She believes therapy provides a space to explore safety in an uncertain world by fostering awareness of the connection between the heart, intuition, and the nervous system. Carolyn understands that while the nervous system doesn’t lie- judgments, perceptions, and assumptions can leave individuals feeling stuck, misunderstood, or exhausted.

I earned a double Masters in Clinical Psychology and Public Administration from the University of San Francisco. I have a B.S in Kinesiology and spent over 5 years working in Exercise Science/Fitness for the YMCA of SF. I am part of the Polyvagal Equine Institute (PVEI) community-spent the last 5yrs training in equine therapy. I have over 20yrs experience teaching dance, yoga & mindfulness.

Outside of work, Carolyn nourishes her own nervous system by walking in nature, swimming, practicing yoga, horseback riding, reading, and spending quality time with her family and her partner. She is also the co-host of a podcast with her longtime best friend, where they explore current events through a clinical and social services comedic lens.
