About Jessica Drennen (She/Her)

Jessica Drennen views relationships with others and the relationship one has with oneself as equally important. She has built a career focused on helping children, adolescents, and adults explore how their lives fit together and how to move toward greater well-being. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience, she blends training in mental health and addiction work to support clients through complex challenges.

Her approach is direct and inclusive. She does not avoid difficult or sensitive topics - including race, white privilege, LGBTQIA matters, male toxicity, gender issues, politics, trauma, substance use, bullying, and suicide - and she aims to provide space for honest and thorough exploration. The clinician encourages clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions while offering guidance, skills, and strategies to process experiences and pursue change. Recognizing that taking a first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, she provides steady support as clients navigate that process.
