Counseling + Personal Life Coaching

Understand what’s holding you back. Get clear on where you’re going.

Evolve combines the insight of mental health counseling with the forward momentum of personal coaching to help you understand what may be getting in the way of the life you want, and take meaningful steps toward what comes next.

EVOLVE

COUNSELING & LIFE COACHING

READY. SET. GROW.

Ask Yourself...

Does staying the same feel more uncomfortable than growing?

Do you know something needs to change, even if you cannot describe exactly what that is?

Do habits, relationships, or beliefs that once felt right now feel misaligned?

It's not about having the right answers, it's about asking the right questions.

Why Is EVOLVE Different?

Melanie brings both a coaching perspective and mental health training to the conversation.

You may know exactly what you want to change and still feel unable to move. Fear, anxiety, self-doubt, old patterns, people-pleasing, or past experiences can all shape

what feels possible.

UNDERSTAND

Look beneath the goal.

Notice the patterns, emotions, beliefs, and experiences influencing where you are today.

Meet Melanie

A different kind of helping partner.

“I don't just want to know where you want to go. I want to understand what's making it difficult to get there.”

Before counseling and coaching, Melanie worked in education and leadership. What stayed with her most was the human part of the work: listening, understanding, and helping someone recognize what might be possible for them.

Professional training matters.

In addition to Melanie’s Mental Health Counseling licensure, Melanie’s Board Certified Coach credential with a specialty in personal/life coaching helps distinguish Evolve from uncredentialed coaching services.
