I’m Melissa, the founder of The Mental Wealth Society, a lifestyle and apparel brand built from both personal experience and a deep desire to break the stigma surrounding mental health.

For years, I struggled with depression but hesitated to seek help because I felt ashamed and worried about what others might think. I carried the weight of that stigma until I finally reached a point where I chose therapy and started medication — choices that changed my life and helped me rebuild my sense of self.

As I began healing, I realized how many people were carrying similar stories in silence. That’s when Mental Wealth Society was born: a brand that blends quiet luxury and intentional design with a message I wish I had heard sooner — that caring for your mental health is strong, not shameful.

Today, I create apparel, accessories, and experiences that encourage conversation, connection, and compassion. My mission is simple: to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered to care for themselves without apology.
