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. I am grateful for the support of my wonderful family and friends throughout my career.
