I'm Jessica Petty, a licensed professional counselor and freelance content writer with a passion for making complex topics clear, accessible, and impactful. With a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a background in psychology and communication, I specialize in writing about mental health, substance use, recovery, trauma-informed care, and professional development.
My writing experience spans freelance work, nonprofit training development, and clinical settings. I've created content for various platforms, including blogs, newsletters, e-learning platforms, social media, group therapy sessions, and internal documentation. Whether I'm making a training module for a nonprofit or writing an educational article on addiction recovery, I bring a trauma-informed, audience-centered approach to every project.
I'm especially drawn to work that bridges the gap between mental health expertise and the communities who need it most - translating knowledge into tools, stories, and resources that support healing, learning, and growth.
