Hello, I'm Dr. Melissa Chovan, a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Alabama with a lifelong dedication to helping people. With extensive education, training, and personal growth, my mission is to provide hope and foster growth, building community engagement programs. My diverse career includes working with domestic violence, sexual assault, at-risk youth, child protective services, community mental health, private practice, and the prison system. I've also had the privilege of teaching at the undergraduate and graduate college levels, both online and in the classroom. Each experience has been a learning opportunity, and my patients, community programs, and professional mentors have been valuable teachers.

ABOUT
Alissa Evans under supervision of Dr. Keith A. Cates, Ph.D, LPC-S
Hello there! My name is Alissa Evans and I'm an Associate Licensed Counselor (ALC) under the supervision of Dr. Keith A. Cates, Ph.D, LPC-S here at Chovan Counseling Inc. I graduated from Troy University with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022. I received my ALC license early 2023 and have since dedicated my work to helping children, adolescents, and families heal from trauma and emotional distress. While I primarily work with younger clients, I also support adults who are processing trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and other identified stressors. My approach is warm and collaborative and I'm committed to aiding individuals to move toward healing and emotional growth at their own pace.
