As a MAPS Life Coach and National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Melanie Haro, MA, NBC-HWC helps KW associates, and their families achieve better mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Melanie’s broad range of experience over twenty years in the mental health field centers on a singular passion: happiness. From counseling gang-affiliated youth through the juvenile drug court system, to teaching therapists the art of happiness, to coaching business owners toward higher levels of health and wellbeing, she knows that happiness doesn’t happen by chance. It is a skill – an art – that can be developed, practiced and LIVED.
After earning her master’s in clinical psychology in 2004, Melanie became a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified Expressive Arts Therapist. Along with her private practice and group facilitation in several Malibu treatment centers, Melanie taught and developed courses for one of the largest mental health training companies in California. In 2013, she and her husband Chris moved their real estate business to Keller Williams Hilton Head, SC, where Chris continues to serve as a full-time agent, former ALC member, Capper Hall of Famer, 2020 Market Center Cultural Icon and the Relocation Community Ambassador for the Carolinas Region. That same year, Melanie shifted from counseling to coaching. She guides clients and workshop participants toward improved happiness and wellbeing using the evidence-based tools and approaches of Positive Psychology. In 2023, she realized her longtime goal of joining MAPS as a Life Coach. “Happiness, not money or prestige, should be regarded as the ultimate currency – the currency by which we take measure of our lives.” ~ Tal Ben-Shahar
**Melanie will be offering the following class with CES in 2024; Choosing Happy: Cultivating a Culture of Happiness at Work.
