(PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- Tanya J. Peterson, MS, NCC, has expanded her mental health writing. She has joined other mental health experts and consumers at HealthyPlace.com and will co-author Anxiety-Schmanxiety, their weekly blog that addresses all aspects of anxiety.
Peterson, who is credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor and is herself a mental health consumer, writes in a variety of ways to increase understanding of mental health issues and create empathy for those who experience them.

Peterson writes in other ways, too. She uses novels that portray aspects of mental illness. “Fiction is powerful,” Peterson explains. “When people connect with characters and develop compassion for them, they often transfer that to real-life human beings.” Her most recent novel is Leave of Absence.
Additionally, she writes articles for NAMI Lane County, her local chapter of the National Institute of Mental Illness, and she has co-authored an article for NAMI National. Further, she has been quoted in various articles, both print and online, addressing mental illness and mental health.
