Therapist

3322 South Campbell Avenue, Springfield, MO

I am a therapist and strategic behavioral‐health leader with more than a decade of experience supporting youth, families, and adults navigating complex trauma, transition, and systems involvement. My background spans emergency shelter work, foster‐care transition programs, community‐based counseling, and clinical supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Clients often describe me as steady, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the stories people carry. I bring a trauma‐informed lens to every interaction, honoring the resilience people develop in the face of adversity. My work is shaped by years of program development, crisis intervention, and advocacy for underserved communities — and by a belief that healing grows in environments where people feel seen, safe, and respected.

Melanie Beal

Melanie Beal

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Missouri


I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 16 years of experience in healthcare. I began my career practicing in a rural community, where I quickly saw how limited access to mental health care affected individuals and families.

Throughout my career, I found myself increasingly drawn to the mental health needs of my patients. I wanted the opportunity to do more, build relationships, and help create change. This passion led me to pursue certification in psychiatric mental health.

My background in both family medicine and psychiatry allows me to approach mental health from a whole-person perspective, recognizing the importance of the relationship between physical and emotional well-being.

Brittany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master of social work degree from Walden University. With over seven years of experience in the field of social work, she brings a wide-ranging background that includes working with the Children’s Division, in hospital settings, with geriatrics, and school-based social work. This diverse experience has given her a deep understanding of individuals across the lifespan and the unique challenges they face.

Brittany believes deeply in the power of trauma-informed care and support, and the healing that comes from having a safe, judgment-free space to process and grow. She also believes in the importance of identifying the root cause of symptoms, rather than just managing surface-level issues.
