Different Services For Different Needs.
Melanie’s background in both coaching and counseling helps bring more clarity to that distinction while keeping each service within its appropriate scope.
READY. SET. GROW.
Coaching is generally focused on goals, clarity, decisions, accountability, values, and creating forward movement.
Counseling addresses emotional distress and regulation, mental health symptoms, and cognitive and behavioral change, through therapeutic assessment and treatment planning.
Melanie’s mental health training helps her notice when presenting concerns may fall outside the scope of coaching and when counseling or another level of care may be indicated. It means the coaching relationship is informed by a professional understanding of mental health and scope.
Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions and is not a substitute for therapy, psychiatric care, crisis services, or other appropriate clinical treatment.
No. A clarity call can help you talk through what brings you here and whether coaching appears appropriate or whether counseling or another type of support may make more sense.
Life coaching is not a clinical service covered by insurance and therefore is self-pay.
Mental health counseling is a clinical service covered as a mental health benefit. EVOLVE is a private-pay provider and does not participate directly with insurance plans. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement for a portion/all of your counseling session fee. Coverage varies by plan, so please confirm your individual benefits directly with your insurance provider, to whom you can submit an itemized in voice which will be provided.
Start with a conversation and determine the most appropriate next step.
