Psychological Preventative Health

About Us

Psychological Preventative Health (PPH Therapy) was founded in 2019 by Melanie Richardson in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Melanie’s experience spans private practice and work with the Idaho Army National Guard, serving individuals, couples, families, and groups. She has also contributed to behavioral health boards, councils, and public speaking engagements for the Military, Native Americans, and First Responders. Recognizing that therapy often comes too late, Melanie founded PPH Therapy to focus on prevention, bridging Eastern medicine's proactive approach with Western practices.

Now serving Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah, PPH Therapy targets root causes rather than symptoms. Anxiety stems from fear or the unknown; trauma involves reliving emotional pain; and suicidal ideation often links to exhaustion, relationship issues, and lack of purpose. Disorders like depression, personality issues, and oppositional defiance are often rooted in environmental factors, poor boundaries, or childhood experiences. Our clinicians help address these challenges and improve relationships by fostering healthy boundaries and understanding.

Mental health is a spectrum, and every individual’s journey is unique. Take the first step toward healing by scheduling a session with our compassionate, expert therapists. Contact us today to start your transformation.
