Greetings! It’s Melissa, circling back to reconnect with each of you. As many of you already know, I’m the driving force behind the Mind Body and Beyond Center. However, for those new faces or those who may have missed our previous introductions, allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Dr. Melissa Fenton: a psychotherapist, clinical sexologist, business entrepreneur, proud mother of three, and happily married for 34 years to my beloved husband, Doug.
In my journey as a therapist, with a lifelong partner by my side, I’ve come to realize the intricate balance between professional expertise and personal experience in nurturing a thriving relationship, or marriage. This realization spurred the inception of our center, a unique fusion of mental wellness and holistic care, truly one-of-a-kind in Northeast Florida.
Over the span of more than two decades, I’ve had the privilege of guiding countless relationships, individuals, and families through their trials. Having acquired multiple licenses, degrees, and certifications, I advocate for a holistic approach to well-being. True healing, I’ve learned, encompasses mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets.
In my ongoing commitment to fostering healthy connections, I’m thrilled about the expansion of our services. From couples counseling to tailored seminars and rejuvenating retreats, my husband Doug and I are joining forces. While Doug may not have formal psychological training, his invaluable male perspective, along with personal anecdotes and good-natured humor, offers a refreshing angle to all couples. Together, we aim to infuse our practice with the newest understandings drawn from evolutionary psychology, biology, spirituality, religion, CBT, and mindfulness practices —empowering relationships to thrive.
We are eager to embark on this journey with you. Whether you’re seeking guidance for your relationship or craving a deeper understanding of yourself, the Mind Body and Beyond, we are here to support you every step of the way.
