About the Author

Meet Travis Serna

Travis Serna writes at the intersection of faith, mental health, and real-life struggle, speaking to those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to name what they are going through. His work is rooted in honesty, breaking through the stigma that often surrounds anxiety and emotional hardship.

For years, Travis lived in quiet denial of his own anxiety, pushing through life while insisting “that’s not me.” But that perspective began to shift as he faced the weight of his experiences head-on. What followed was a journey of understanding, healing, and faith, one that now fuels his writing and message.

Through books like Anxiety? Not Me! and his ongoing work with Depression? Not Me! and others, Travis shares practical insight, personal reflection, and faith-based encouragement for those navigating internal battles. His approach is not about perfection or quick fixes, but about meeting people where they are and helping them take honest steps forward.

Beyond writing, Travis is committed to serving his community through education, outreach, and initiatives that expand access to resources and opportunity. Whether through the written word or real-world work, his mission remains the same: to help others find clarity, courage, and hope in the midst of struggle and to strip away the power that our society gives to stigmas.
