We are thrilled to announce Dr. Melissa (“Dr. Mel”) Robinson-Brown, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, speaker, and unapologetic advocate for women ready to break barriers and live authentically!
Proudly rooted in her Trinidadian heritage and raised in Cleveland, Dr. Mel brings over 22 years of clinical experience and 14 years of leadership to her work. As an adjunct professor at NYU and assistant clinical professor at Mount Sinai Medical Center, she’s shaping the future of mental health.
After stepping away from a high-pressure role, Dr. Mel founded Renewed Focus Psychology Services, where she creates empowering spaces for women to break free from outdated narratives, set bold boundaries, and reclaim their power. Her signature programs like Limitless and Fearless and The Private Pay Way are empowering women and therapists to live and build lives rooted in purpose and authenticity.
Dr. Mel’s bold and transformative approach has earned her recognition in Essence Wellness House, Vogue, The New York Times, and many more. When she’s not changing lives, she’s raising her three fierce daughters and hunting for the perfect workout outfit.
