About Dr. Giles
Dr. Megan Giles is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adults and adolescents. Offering both telehealth and in-person services in Princeton, NJ, Dr. Giles is dedicated to fostering a nonjudgmental and collaborative therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful personal growth and healing. A therapy session with Dr. Giles is a collaborative experience focused on improving one’s internal sense of well-being, building interpersonal relationships, and becoming empowered with the behavioral skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
Dr. Giles specializes in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, tics, and body-focused repetitive behaviors like hair-pulling and skin-picking. Her practice is rooted in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). She tailors her interventions to meet each client’s unique needs and goals, creating a safe and supportive environment to explore challenges and build skills. She believes therapy can be beneficial whether you are struggling with a specific mental health condition or are just looking for help navigating one of life’s many challenges.
