Mary Deborah Giles, M.A., LPC
My interest in counseling grew out of my experience as a high school teacher when I spent increasing hours listening to students and steering them into counseling. After a 20-year teaching career I moved into professional counseling. I combine CBT with psycho education, chain analysis and elements of mindfulness, meditation, and motivational interviewing to help my clients become the freest and fullest version of their uniquely gifted selves.
I work with teens and adults struggling with addictions, adjustment challenges, anxiety, bi-polar, challenges stemming from near death experiences, depression, dissociative identity, gender issues, grief, guilt & shame, moral injury, sexuality concerns, and trauma alone and in combination. I am comfortable with a diversity of cultures, sexual identities and orientations as well as varying spiritual perspectives.
I have an MA in clinical counseling from John Carroll University in University Heights, OH, an undergraduate degree in education from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, an MA in Christian Spirituality from Creighton University in Omaha, NE. While studying at Creighton I trained in spiritual direction. During my internship for counseling at the Cleveland Clinic I invested considerable time in geriatric assessment.
These are the types of treatments I use:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders
Contingency Management for Substance Use Disorder
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Schizophrenia
Cognitive Therapy (CT) for Bipolar Disorder
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Depression in People with Diabetes
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for adult ADHD
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Cognitive Therapy for Depression
Insurances I take:
