About Jovie

I'm Jovie Peralta, LSW, a trauma therapist and owner of Saela Ro Therapy & Wellness. I work with adults in-person and virtually.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I was someone who kept moving no matter what. I've served in the military, navigated my own relational trauma, and spent a long time being the person who held everything together on the outside while something underneath was quietly running the show.

​​

I know what that's like. The high-functioning version of not okay. Strong enough to keep going, worn down enough to know something has to change.
I also know that talking about it only gets you so far. Not because you're not trying, but because trauma doesn't live in your words. It lives in your body, your patterns, the parts of you that are still braced for something that already happened.
That's what we work on here.

I'm not going to tiptoe around you or hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I work directly, I tell the truth, and I can handle whatever you bring in the door. If you've felt like you were too much for a therapist before (or not enough) that's not going to be the problem here.

This work is real. And so are you.
