Harvey Brownstone Interviews Melissa Doman, Author of “Yes You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work”

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Organizational Psychologist, Melissa Doman, Author of “Yes You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work”

About Harvey's guest:

Melissa worked for years as a clinical mental health therapist in private practice, employee assistance programs, and university settings. She transitioned from the clinical sector into organizational psychology for a crucial reason. Countless people who came to see her for counseling had something unfortunate in common — they felt they couldn’t be open about their struggles at work.  So, she left the clinical sector to make an impact at the source — the workplace.

Melissa has spoken, presented, and consulted for organizations and Fortune 500 companies across industries and around the world, including clients like: Microsoft, Estée Lauder, Salesforce, Siemens, Janssen, Charlotte Tilbury, Bumble and bumble, Legal & General, and more. She has been featured as a subject matter expert by the BBC, CNBC, digital publications, local television shows, international and national conferences, summits, and mentoring programs. After a decade of fieldwork, Melissa compiled all of her training, field experience, and expertise into her new book: Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work…Here’s Why (And How To Do It Really Well). She also served as the consulting subject-matter expert for the manuscript and wrote the foreword for the soon-to-be-released Beat Stress at Work: How to Balance Your Ambition With Your Anxiety by Mark Simmonds.

Melissa is a prominent thought leader in the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union. Having lived abroad in South Korea, England, Australia and traveled to 45+ countries, she calls upon her global experiences to inform how she works with companies around the world. She uses these experiences to highlight how cultural differences and personal experiences impact how we perceive mental health, stress, and mental illness. And, how we bring these beliefs into work.

Melissa also holds an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Adler University and a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Communications from The George Washington University. While in clinical practice, she held several licenses at the state and national level and achieved certification through a Stanford University-sponsored program as a Chronic Disease Self-Management Educator. 

Her goals are simply this - to use her background and experience to:

Equip people, companies, and leaders to constructively talk about mental health and mental illness in the workplace. 

Help them build the skillset, mindset, and behaviors to do this.

Have realistic and constructive conversations about it.

Put mental health in the workplace at the forefront of everyone's minds around the world.
