About James
Hi there! My name is James Liles, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience in the emotional healing industry, the last 14 as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to helping individuals heal and find their inner strength. I've earned multiple degrees, including two Masters from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, an undergraduate degree in psychology from Louisiana Tech University, and a minor in military science from Grambling State. In the past, I also held a teaching degree and was licensed as a special education teacher EC-12 and a secondary educational counselor. My work experience spans various areas, and I've had the privilege of working with soldiers returning with combat trauma during my time in private practice in Killeen, Texas. Additionally, I've trained in EAGALA - equine-assisted therapy techniques, allowing me to bring unique approaches to my counseling sessions. Over the years, I've also gained valuable experience in assisting teens, couples, and families with behavioral and relational issues. Recently, I've been involved in the corporate wellness resiliency and life coaching sector, further broadening my expertise. When you work with me, expect an eclectic therapeutic experience. I believe in using various theories and counseling styles to tailor the approach that suits you best. Building genuine relationships with my clients and being fully present in our exchanges are essential aspects of my counseling philosophy. At heart, I am a healer, a helper, and a servant, driven by the desire to support you in your journey towards healing and personal growth. Outside of my work, I enjoy cooking, exercising, and spending quality time with my spouse. I believe in practicing self-care and maintaining a balanced life, which enables me to be even more present and attentive to my clients' needs. If you're looking for support on your emotional healing journey or seeking assistance with life coaching, I'm here to help. Referrals are always appreciated, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you in achieving your goals. Let's take this journey together Read more Show less
