Welcome To Melantha Health

Many people begin therapy when they’re ready to understand themselves more deeply and move through challenges that feel hard to change. I founded Melantha Health to offer compassionate, evidence-based care that helps adults find clarity and create lasting growth.

I’m Dr. David L. Pennington, a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in psychological and cognitive assessment, substance use disorders, trauma-focused therapy, and neuroscience-informed care. Melantha Health brings together clinicians whose work is grounded in clinical depth, thoughtful assessment, respect for lived experience, and a collaborative approach to meaningful change. We help clients better understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, relationships, behavior, and functioning so they can move forward with greater clarity and intention.

Whether you’re seeking insight, healing, diagnostic clarity, or direction, our goal is to help you move forward with care, integrity, and clinical expertise.
