About the Author

Welcome to Heart & Home Psychology, a space dedicated to helping you understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a calmer, more resilient life at home.

Who I Am

My name is Melissa Smith, and I am the creator and author behind Heart & Home Psychology.
I write about mental well-being, parenting, emotional intelligence, personal development, and the everyday challenges modern families face.

I am not a clinician and do not offer therapy or consultations.
Instead, I combine psychology-based research, practical experience, and clear, compassionate explanations to make complex ideas easy to understand and apply in real life.

My goal is to provide a trustworthy, evidence-informed resource for readers seeking guidance in a safe, supportive space.

My Experience

I have spent years studying:

  • Child development

  • Family dynamics

  • Relationship psychology

  • Behavioral science

  • Emotional self-regulation

  • Stress and burnout prevention

Through personal experience, continuous learning, and hundreds of hours of research, I focus on creating content that is not only helpful but also grounded in credible psychological principles.

I regularly review publications from:

  • APA (American Psychological Association)

  • Leading psychology journals

  • Evidence-based mental health resources

  • Books by reputable psychologists and educators

This ensures that every article is aligned with reliable, well-established knowledge.

Why I Created This Blog

I started Heart & Home Psychology to offer a reliable and warm space for people who want to improve their inner world and their relationships at home.

So many online resources provide oversimplified or unverified advice. I wanted to build something different—
a place where high-quality psychological insights are accessible, understandable, and genuinely useful.

My Commitment to You

I am committed to:

  • Using reputable sources and research

  • Continually improving the quality and accuracy of content

  • Writing with empathy, clarity, and responsibility

  • Avoiding clinical claims or diagnostic advice

  • Updating articles when new research becomes available

Trust is the foundation of this blog, and I take it seriously.
