The Founder and Owner
 

Jessica Stewart, LPC

Welcome! I'm thrilled you're here. Allow me to introduce myself and my mission.

​

My name is Jessica and I am a proud daughter of Nigerian immigrants, raised in the United States, with a deep commitment to honoring my cultural heritage. This commitment extends into my professional life, where I advocate for authenticity and psychological safety in all spaces, encouraging others to embrace their whole selves.

​

My career is dedicated to advocacy and empowerment, focusing on the rights and support of Queer, Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (QBIWoC). I am recognized nationally as an expert in human trafficking prevention, delivering talks, consultations, and training sessions across various sectors.

With extensive experience in counseling centers, educational institutions, and child welfare organizations in Atlanta, I support individuals coping with trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

​

As a Workplace Mental Health Strategist, I specialize in assisting organizations to understand and remedy how societal biases and systemic inequities manifest within workplace cultures. My work aims to transform these environments into spaces that truly support the mental health and well-being of historically marginalized groups. Through my leadership as a Program Director, I drive changes that foster inclusive and anti-oppressive practices, thereby preventing workplace trauma and enhancing employee resilience.

​​

At Beauty in the Balance, our mission is to create thriving, anti-oppressive workspaces using research-based, culturally and trauma-informed tools. We aim to support the communities these organizations serve, focusing on the mental health and empowerment of teens and women of color affected by systemic inequities.

With a passion for village and communal healing practices, I bring years of expertise to this space. Holding space for others is my strength, but taking up space is my revolutionary practice as a Black woman. 

​

Your journey towards a more equitable workplace starts here, with us working together to create environments where everyone can thrive. We look forward to embarking on this journey with you.
