Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a therapist who focuses on children, families, and those in life transitions. I am looking forward to working with you to reach your goals.
Hello. I’m Dr. Delores Hendrix-Giles, affectionally known as Dr. DHG. I am a clinical social worker with over 25 years of mental health professional experience. I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of Houston, TX and a Doctor of Social Work from Simmons University in Boston MA. I am passionate about mental wellness and taking the steps to help you work toward becoming your best self. I specialize in issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, and women's issues concerning identity, caregiving, and boundaries. I am adept at helping clients to explore culturally sensitive issues related to innate gender, power, generational, or structurally and societally imposed challenges.
Former teacher + school counselor turned therapist.
I’ve spent 12 years supporting teens—first as a teacher, then as a school counselor—and now I help young people build resilience and grow through life’s challenges. I’ve walked alongside adolescents and young adults through real‐life ups and downs.
Successful therapy begins by meeting the client where they’re at. As a clinical therapist with a background in social work, I believe therapy should be client-centered with a feeling of safety and trust. I pull techniques from various well-known therapies that are unique to the client's needs, acting as a guide, partnering with the client to find the best path to success. Some may need only one or two sessions, while others more. Regardless, this is a journey that we can figure out together.
I have a PhD in clinical psychology with a focus on behavioral medicine. I have over 15 years experience helping people like you feel better by improving their mental and physical health. Let's work together to get you feeling better and living your best life!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.
I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.
I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.
Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Welcome and congratulations on taking this step! I work with individuals who struggle with self-image, anxiety, depression, and self-motivation. I have been practicing for over 8 years. I will work with you to find your strengths and aid in building with you from there.
