About Jessica:

 
Jessica Renard is a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor and has been working with clients for almost 4 years, primarily in a sex therapy capacity. She is a neurodiverse, pagan, geeky therapist who is often found in kinky and LGBTQIA spaces in Georgia.  As a pagan, she also helps clients that struggle with church trauma and shame. She provides support and challenge to clients who feel stuck and are searching for who they are in their identity.

Jessica has a background in helping survivors of trauma both from their families or in their sexual past. Using books, podcasts, worksheets, and tv shows, Jessica meets clients where they are at, providing resources to help continue the work outside of sessions. She is a co-founder of PATH - Pagan Affirming Therapy and Healthcare which is a directory offering pagan affirming providers for those who wish to center or have that identity affirmed in their self-care work. She is the Professional Development Co-Chair of the LPCA of Georgia and is a member of AASECT. She is currently working on AASECT certification, ideally completing this by mid-2026. She has a masters in Clinical Mental Health from UWG, where she orchestrated the UWG Board Game Club as a graduate student.
