We’re building Cottonwood Psychology with a simple idea in mind: make psychology clear, useful, and grounded in real evidence. We’re a digital publication created by psychology professionals, and our goal is to help everyday readers understand how the mind shapes daily life. We share education, not therapy or medical advice.
Where we are now
We’re not hiring full-time roles at the moment. That said, we’re always interested in hearing from people who care about mental health literacy and responsible science communication.
Roles we expect to open
As we grow, we plan to bring on contributors such as:
- Writers and researchers for original psychology stories and explainers
- Licensed professionals to provide expert review and oversight
- Editors experienced in digital publishing, fact-checking, and ethical sourcing
What we look for
- Clear, engaging writing for a general audience
- Comfort reading studies and summarizing evidence responsibly
- Respect for ethics, lived experience, and inclusive language
- Willingness to follow our editorial standards for sourcing and accuracy
