You deserve a therapist who sees you — not just your symptoms.

I'm Angel Hiles, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and the founder of The Garden Approach.

Once I discovered neuroplasticity and the neurobiology of trauma, everything shifted. It felt like the missing piece—suddenly my own experiences and the struggles I saw in clients made sense on a deeper level. It changed me personally, and it transformed the way I practice.

I’ve worked with so many people stuck in cycles of unhealthy relationships, people-pleasing, anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. I know how life-changing it can be to have someone walk beside you with compassion, clarity, and a deep understanding of how the nervous system shapes our patterns.

Healing is a lot like tending a garden—growth happens when we create the right conditions: safety, awareness, nurturing, and patience.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m drawn to mind-body practices, meditation, and connecting with nature. I bring that same curiosity, gentleness, and intentionality into my work. Supporting people as they reconnect with themselves, create safety in their nervous system, and rediscover their inner strength is truly my calling.
