Dr. Melissa Briggs-Phillips, founder of Behave Forward Partners, serves business owners and executives who recognize that exceptional leadership requires internal work. If you're a high-achieving professional facing burnout, decision fatigue, or leadership challenges despite outward success, you've found your therapist. Drawing on extensive trauma therapy expertise, Dr. M helps clients transform difficult experiences into leadership wisdom, creating results for ambitious professionals ready to enhance both mental agility and business performance.
As a veteran trauma therapist, I now guide business owners and professionals. My discovery: the same psychological flexibility skills that help people rebuild after devastating loss also create extraordinary businesses and careers. I transform hard-won resilience principles into leadership success. Ready to leverage these powerful techniques? Let's talk!
Growth doesn't require endless emotional turmoil. Peace isn't just possible—it's your birthright. You are not defined by your worst decision or your deepest trauma. Every person has the capacity to behave forward! At Behave Forward Partners, see beyond what's given to what's possible. Your very best NEXT is waiting.

I use the Behave Forward Framework to teach psychological flexibility skills. This integrated model pulls from research and best practices across a variety of disciplines. Thoughts. Feelings. Body. Behavior. These four "categories" of experience make up a human life! Behavior is human currency, it is how we transact with each other, and the most important thing we do.
