Getting to know Rachel Giles

Hi there, I'm Rachel! Hello and thank you for taking this first and sometimes scary step! My name is Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Minnesota. I work with adults and specialize in life transitions, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. My approach to therapy is accepting, non-judgmental, solution-focused, and interactive. My approach I strive to create a warm, safe, and healing space with each person I work with. Therapy does not look the same for any two people; therefore, I utilize an eclectic approach to best meet the needs of each individual. This may include interventions and skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Seeking Safety. My approach focuses on empowering and supporting people in connecting with their own personal power and strengths while working toward their goals. I believe change begins with curiosity and a willingness to explore. My focus I have had the privilege to work with many individuals, ranging from those not feeling okay or like themselves to those experiencing severe and persistent mental illness. My style and approach have been a good fit for individuals facing challenges with life transitions, work, school, relationships, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. My goal is to help you navigate these situations, build skills and tools to practice in day-to-day life, and work toward feeling better and living a happy, healthy life. My communication style My communication style is accepting, non-judgmental, and personable. I believe change begins with curiosity and a willingness to explore ourselves. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to entrust me with your stories, experiences, and anything you would like to talk about as we work toward growth, self-exploration, and your goals.
