About

GREETINGS!

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 previous introductions, allow me to reintroduce myself.

I am Dr. Melissa Fenton: a Psychotherapist, Clinical Sexologist, business entrepreneur, proud mother of three and happily married for 34 years to my beloved husband Doug, spiritually minded and, last but not least, an animal lover and advocate.

In my journey as a therapist, with a lifelong partner by my side, I have 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 newest venture- a unique fusion of mental wellness and holistic healing with a focus on the sacredness of relationships.

Over the span of more than two decades, I have had the privilege of guiding countless relationships, individuals, and families through their trials. Having acquired multiple licenses, degrees, and certifications in mental health, human sexuality, religion and spirituality, grief, trauma, and much more, I strive for a holistic approach to well-being. True healing encompasses mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets.

In my ongoing commitment to fostering healthy connections, I am thrilled about an 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, professional career as a medical doctor and good-natured humor, offers a refreshing angle to all couples. Together, we aim to infuse our practice with innovative techniques drawn from evolutionary psychology, biology, spirituality, religion, sociology, CBT, and mindfulness–empowering relationships to thrive.

We are eager to embark on this journey with you. Whether you’re seeking guidance with your relationship or craving a deeper understanding of yourself, Mind Body and Beyond is here to support you every step of the way.

Look for updates on how to schedule our couples programs very soon.

Testimonials

Melissa Fenton has been my therapist on and off for the past 8 years. Not only has she helped me to be stronger through my divorce, but has helped me gain the strength to work through my fears and anxiety of raising my 4 kids alone and get back on my feet to love myself and find love in my life again.

I have learned to challenge my negative thinking and gain control of my emotions/ anxiety for the first time in a long, long time. I am so thankful to her and her positive and loving demeanor.

 

Thank you , Melissa Fenton!

- Dr. Donna S.

I am writing this letter of admiration and gratitude to Dr. Melissa D. Fenton, and her entire staff at Mind Body and Beyond Center in Jacksonville, Florida. I met Dr. Fenton in March of 2019, after finding her in the “Natural Awakenings” magazine, which I read every month because of it’s natural and holistic articles related to complete health and well- being. I came to Florida leaving behind the greatest counselor I have ever known. Now I am blessed to know, two! I came to Dr. Fenton with several problems and she and her entire staff have put me back on the path to a life well lived! I would not be where I am today without them. Dr. Fenton and her staff use academia, great life experiences, and are on the “cutting edge” of all things related to the mind, body, and spirit of the complete person and their total well- being and healing. I highly recommend Dr. Melissa D. Fenton as well as her entire staff to make your “life’s journey” all it can be!

 

With Love and Gratitude,

- Jeffrey S.

“I came to this place years ago and Dr. Fenton saved my life by filling me with positive thinking, instead of negative thinking. All I can say is if you were even considering something like this, go for it. It really does work.”

- Josh S.

“Working with Dr. Melissa Fenton over the past four years has helped me to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually in more ways than I could have possibly imagined. She has helped me to see and realize the greatness of who I am. She has helped me to access a world in which at times I thought was inaccessible, reminding me that I can become and achieve anything that I put my mind to. I am eternally grateful for Melissa as she continues to inspire me on a daily basis.”

- Andrea S.
