 Author • Clinical Mental Health Counseling Graduate Student

J. Catrell Bynum is an author and graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. His interest in trauma, resilience, identity, and the mind shapes both his academic journey and his writing. Through psychological fiction and reflective poetry, he explores the internal struggles people carry, especially the ones that are difficult to recognize, understand, or name.

His debut release, THE VOICE, is a psychological poetry anthology that confronts the inner antagonist many people mistake for themselves. His next project, Aftermath, is a collection of psychological short stories exploring what remains after trauma, loss, and violence. His psychological thriller, Untitled, follows a mother and son whose buried past resurfaces when people close to them are murdered and the police begin to suspect her teenage son. Every Monster Has a Name, currently in development, follows a therapist and a twelve-year-old boy who uses an imagined world of heroes and monsters to express his trauma.

Across poetry, short stories, and novels, his goal remains the same: to create work that encourages readers to look beneath the surface and confront what often remains unspoken. He is also the founder and operator of Catrevio Press, the independent publishing home established to bring his creative works to readers.
