Baltimore, MD — Jessica T. Fauntleroy, MSW, LCSW-C, founder of J’elle Legacy Group and Restoring Destiny Mental Health Services, has been nominated by Mayor Brandon M. Scott to serve on the Baltimore City Trauma-Informed Care Task Force. Her nomination reflects the City’s ongoing commitment to collaborating with community-based leaders who bring lived experience, professional expertise, and a deep understanding of healing-centered systems.

As a licensed clinical social worker, strategist, and entrepreneur, Fauntleroy has dedicated more than 15 years to advancing culturally responsive, trauma-informed mental health care for women, families, and caregivers across Baltimore.

Throwback to 2017:
At that time, I was working full-time at Total Health Care (1501 W. Saratoga Street) in the Substance Abuse Program, where I provided mental health treatment to patients beginning suboxone.

That little office became a safe space—not just for my patients, but for me too.

It was also my last full-time position before stepping out on faith to launch Restoring Destiny Mental Health Services in 2018. After a 13-year career in direct service, I knew it was time to build something of my own—a space centered on healing, cultural competence, and legacy.

One full-circle moment I’ll never forget: I actually received health services as a child at that same Total Health Care site. To this day, I still receive postcards inviting me back to serve—which always warms my heart.

Restoring Destiny is where my purpose, research, and hard work live. It’s more than a business—it’s my legacy. 💜
