Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care
for Lasting Change
We provide therapy and psychological assessments that help adults gain insight, find balance, and move toward lasting personal growth with compassion, expertise, and care.
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. My background includes postdoctoral work and over a decade of clinical experience at the San Francisco VA and other academic medical settings, where I received specialized training in substance use disorders, trauma-focused therapy, advanced psychological assessment, and neuroscience-informed clinical research.
Whether you’re seeking insight, healing, or direction, my goal is to help you make meaningful change with care and integrity.
