Psychotherapy Practice of Carolyn Jasculca

How do you find safety in an uncertain world? Therapy can offer a pause to pay attention on purpose to your nervous system and the connection between your heart and your nervous system. Our nervous system does not lie, but our perceptions & assumptions can cause us to feel stuck, hopeless, misunderstood & exhausted. Healing is about hosting space to re-learn & understand our nervous system using polyvagal science & research. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2018, with over 20 years of experience teaching kids creative movement, yoga, and mindfulness. I hold a double Master's in Clinical Psychology and Public Administration from the University of San Francisco. I trained with Square Peg Foundation and completed the Polyvagal Equine Assisted Training Workshops with the Polyvagal Equine Institute. Healing also means questioning the systems and "shoulds" our nervous systems were shaped by. Talk therapy offers so much, and when you add a walk in nature or include animals you increase your chances of finding safety and reconnection. With your consent, we can be curious together about what happened in your past, where it lands in your nervous system now, and the patterns that help you become a more mindful, purposeful and authentic self. Beyond the therapy room, I lead Stillness in Community, a monthly online group, and I come to schools, teams, and community spaces for workshops, because healing happens in community too.
