Melissa Webb is on a mission to treat, educate and destigmatize a broad spectrum of mental health disorders, with an emphasis on sexual health and sexual abuse. The granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, Webb has witnessed firsthand the complexities of untreated trauma and PTSD, which led to her interest in the human condition, psychological functioning and the impact of abuse on families.
Webb approaches mental health care as a right, not a privilege, and ensures that the clinic’s mental health programs exceed the current standard of care. Red Rock Psychological Health is an official agency field instructor in partnership with UNR, UNLV, ASU, USC and Baylor University, where they train clinicians to treat patients who have committed violent crimes or sexual offenses, victims of abuse and those who have sexual addictions.
Active in the community, Webb serves as a board member for the Southern Nevada Children's Advocacy Center, which she describes as a hidden community gem that assists families in reporting abuse and receiving quality trauma therapy services.
