Giles Greenwood, LCMHCA, LCASA
Psychotherapist
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate in the state of North Carolina.
Born and raised in London, England, I have spent much of my life as a filmmaker traveling around the world.
A Buddhist proverb reflects my approach to therapy, “Not all storms come to destroy your life, some come to clear your path.”
I work from an existential perspective to help clients explore life’s challenges and acquire tools to thrive in today’s world. My path has led me to working with veterans, athletes, the incarcerated, and adolescents. I work too in the addiction space, with a particular focus on social media and helping both individuals and families explore the increasing role technology plays in our lives and how we can change our habits to protect ourselves.
I believe we all exist within the context of a much larger life system, and therefore might suggest we walk together in nature or go for a bike ride along a greenway during our sessions. Connecting with nature allows us to better understand our roles in the world.
Fun Fact: I walked 1000 miles across the United States with military veterans to raise awareness for PTSD.
