I am a global, Chicago-based life coach with expertise in empowering women to manage anxiety, so they can identify and create the lives they want.

55-minute virtual coaching sessions

Does anxiety stop you from having the life you want?

Are you frustrated by the control anxiety seems to have over your life?

Do you fixate on how social interactions went?

Do you struggle to say yes to yourself and no to others?

Do you feel that you can’t move forward with a goal because of fear?

Do you have an idea of how you want your life to be, but you can’t identify or take steps to get there?

Is perfectionism holding you hostage?

Do you feel like you’re constantly trying to meet the needs of others or can’t feel peace unless you get external validation?

Coaching can help you….

  • Identify narratives that are holding you back and gain a new perspective on your life, so you can make the changes you want.

  • Learn techniques that will help you identify, challenge, and reframe thoughts or beliefs that cause anxiety.

  • Be present in the moment and enjoy your life.

  • Gain a deeper understanding of your behaviors.

  • Strengthen your relationship with yourself.

  • Feel empowered to assert your voice and establish healthy boundaries with people in your life.

  • Improve communication with a partner, friends, family, or co-workers.

  • Meet and learn how to support your inner child.

Is Psychotherapy or Coaching right for you?

Outpatient psychotherapy is deep inner work for addressing mild to severe psychological problems/diagnoses. Focus is on understanding and healing the past in order to manage the present. If you have addictions, trauma, or difficulty functioning, psychotherapy is the right option. Coaching is for individuals who are functioning day to day, but they are wanting to create better lived experiences for themselves. Coaching focuses on goals and building the future you want.

I love Chicago, and I am happy for it to be my home. But I also love travel and meeting new people. I chose coaching as a career path because it allows me to work with clients from all over the world, and it provides me with the ability to work from anywhere. For this reason, I offer only virtual coaching sessions through a platform called Doxy. A 55 minute session is $175. To schedule a session or ask questions, please click the link below or email me at melanie@melaniebrownlifecoaching.com.

I’d love to give you the tools to transform your life.
