JaLisa Giles is an LCSW based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families. She works with people ages 15 and up who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes an affirming environment for people of color and others who seek a respectful, culturally aware space.

JaLisa aims to translate insight into changes that fit each person’s daily life.

Beyond core specialties, her additional focus areas include aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, attachment and blended family issues, body image, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, and challenges such as isolation, impulsivity, and discrimination-related distress. She offers a free consultation to explore a potential fit and to shape clear, attainable goals with each client.
