Dr. Melissa Robinson-Brown (aka Dr. Mel) is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, speaker, professor, and the unapologetic force behind Renewed Focus Psychology Services—a virtual therapy collective serving women, teens, and parents in NY, NJ, and beyond. With 22+ years of experience, a Ph.D. from Loyola University Chicago, and dual faculty roles at Mount Sinai and NYU, Dr. Mel brings radical healing and real growth to the forefront. Her work centers mental wellness, boundary-setting, and the liberation of women—especially women of color—from toxic work cultures and societal scripts. A BeyGOOD Grant recipient and media contributor (Vogue, NYT, HuffPost), Dr. Mel also leads two powerhouse programs: Limitless & Fearless for bold career and relationship transformation, and The Private Pay Way for therapists ready to build thriving, cash-pay practices. When she’s not out here shifting the mental health game, she’s in NJ with her partner AB and their three daughters—living boldly, raising disruptors, and modeling what it means to lead a life that’s raw, real, and that’s unapologetically yours.
