LCSW

Helping the "Hard to Help" In RVA.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Goochland, VA

My Background and Approach

Laura Giles believes everyone is a beautiful, valuable being. She is able to see the light in people even when they have lost sight of it. She believes that we all have the ability to heal ourselves when we step into this light and let it shine. She encourages people to do this. Laura work is holistic. She believes that a healing cannot happen without energy. This energy can come from breath, energy work, or a change in diet. When the body and mind have what they need, they can heal themselves. She believes that happiness and achievement comes from learning and practicing effective skills. Practicing effective skills creates an effective lifestyle. She believes that this is something everyone can learn regardless of past history. Laura Giles believes in self-determination. Each person has the right to decide what is best for him and how he wants to live. Laura believes that each person’s time and money are valuable. She strives to earn each person’s business by leaving her client

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Most practitioners focus on coping with and eliminating symptoms. Laura goes for the root cause. When the root cause is addressed, wellness is achieved and improvements are noticed throughout the client's life. Studies say that a combination of psychotherapy and drugs work best for most problems. Laura understands that 450,000 deaths each year are attributed to preventable, medication adverse drug reactions. While Laura recognizes that prescriptions are sometimes necessary, her interventions are targeted to reduce or eliminate the need for drugs. When Laura Giles was an intern, she was routinely given the tough cases that nobody else wanted. She cut her teeth on helping people other people had given up on. She is not intimidated by what is easy and will not give up on you. Laura likes to work smarter not harder. This has helped her to develop techniques that work quicker and produce long term or even permanent results. When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, see Laura.
