Welcome New Students!

Announcing the matriculated students who will begin their PCC training this fall!

Karli Farnham Jones, MA, LPC, is a recent transplant to the Charlotte metro area and is excited to return to her Carolina roots after beginning her counseling career in the Midwest. Karli earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from University of South Carolina and went on to receive a Master of Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University, where she was first introduced to psychoanalytic theory. After working in solo private practice, she founded Blue Valley Counseling, a group practice based in Kansas City that focuses on providing psychodynamic and inclusive therapy. In her clinical work, she specializes in working with adult clients experiencing high anxiety and relational strain, drawing heavily from psychodynamic theory and psychoanalytic thought. Karli looks forward to deepening her perspective and clinical approach through PCC’s psychoanalysis training track.

Marvice D. Marcus, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and clinical supervisor in Durham, NC. Since leaving his role as Training Director at Duke University Counseling & Psychological Services, Marvice has maintained a thriving private practice. He enjoys working with people across the developmental spectrum. Currently, he oversees a clinical training program at Radical Healing Collaborative (RHC), a queer and BIPOC-led organization that offers wellness services to residents across North Carolina. He is especially endeared to the RHC community, as he has formed lasting relationships that bring endless joy to his life. Marvice is an avid reader, with topics ranging from the art and science of psychotherapy, to cultural studies and critical social theory, to Black epistemologies. During his free time, Marvice enjoys "brunching," shopping for clothes and shoes, and finding ways to obnoxiously laugh!

Originally from New York, she moved to North Carolina, attending medical school at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and psychiatry residency at Duke University Health System.
