Jovana began with CoRe Kids Therapy in 2021 as a provisional psychologist and became a registered psychologist in 2025.

She enjoys working with children and adolescents across a wide range of needs and experiences. Jovana draws on evidence-based approaches, including Child-Centred Play Therapy and other flexible, creative methods tailored to each young person and family. 

She believes strongly in the importance of building safe, respectful, and trusting therapeutic relationships to foster growth and address individual goals. Jovana is passionate about partnering with parents and caregivers, helping them feel supported and confident in understanding and responding to their child’s needs.

Jovana has experience supporting children and adolescents with emotional, social, and school-based skill development, as well as working in community mental health with adults with dual diagnoses through recovery planning and goal setting. 

Together with her certified therapy dog, Chachka (now happily retired), Jovana previously provided individual and group support to children in home and school settings, focusing on communication, friendships, mental health, and grief and loss.

Jovana works from the Moorabbin clinic on Mondays and Thursdays.
