JaLisa Giles, LCSW
About me
Let’s be real—life gets messy, and sometimes Googling your problems just isn’t cutting it anymore. I work with individuals 15 and up, navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or that constant “what am I doing with my life?” loop. I hold an LCSW in TX, MN, MT, ND, SD, AK, and TN, and have over 8 years of experience supporting individuals and families from all walks of life. I’m passionate about working with people of color, and I aim to create a supportive, affirming space where you feel seen and respected.
I utilize a straightforward, collaborative approach with a client-centered approach—more real conversation, less “therapy voice.” A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing is interwoven to help you reach your therapeutic goals.
I offer free consultations where you can share your story, what’s been weighing on you, and your therapeutic goals/aims. If the fit feels right, we’ll shape clear goals together and get to work in a space that’s warm, honest, and fully supportive of you showing up as you are. I’ll be right there with you as we turn insight into real, meaningful change.
