Darjana Nastic Jelaca

I’m a Psychologist with a Master’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Philosophy, experienced across clinical, educational, and multidisciplinary settings. I focus on clear mental health communication, emotional development, and boundary setting, always grounded in culturally attuned support.

In Child Development Centers, I designed and implemented structured assessment tools to evaluate emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs in children and families. I also led psychoeducational workshops on emotional communication, boundaries, and healthy relational patterns, translating complex psychological concepts into actionable guidance for parents, caregivers, and partners.

My work spans school and community contexts too—delivering mental health support through UNICEF’s “Learning Together” project in primary schools, and volunteering with UNICEF supporting young victims of digital violence. I’ve also provided individual and group therapy in a rehabilitation clinic setting, and supported academic and emotional development through counseling for students and teachers.

I’m comfortable working with digital platforms and data-driven methodologies, and I’m passionate about improving access to high quality mental health resources through innovative AI-driven solutions. I bring emotionally attuned writing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meticulous, detail-oriented evaluation to every engagement.
