Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello and welcome! My name is Augustina Garba. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater with a master’s degree in Counseling in May 2002. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I started out working with adult mental health individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. During my internship, I was exposed to working with severely abused and neglected children. This experience was what inspired me to work with children and families. I now provide individual and family therapy sessions targeting anger management for children and at-risk teenagers. My passion has always been to help bring about changes in the lives of individuals and families while partnering with them to create hope in their future.
In 2009, I went into Private Practice. I now work with children, adults, and families, providing individual and family therapy sessions. I also work with adult survivors of childhood abuse. My focus is to help them heal from their trauma and overcome related issues and problems that could develop due to their abuse. These could range from depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks and stress. I work with many individuals and couples in relationship building. I counsel couples with relationship and divorce issues, anger management and domestic violence.
My focus in counseling is to work with you to resolve issues that challenge you and restore self-efficacy to couples, individuals and families. I am supportive in therapy and a good listener. I will collaborate with you, using teaching skills and give you tangible assignments to help you succeed in achieving your goals of finding a long-term meaningful solution. I am consistent and believe in building a trusting and reliable client-therapist relationship.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people ask whether virtual counseling can truly help. For a range of common concerns—including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions—online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care for many individuals.
One key advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that best fits their needs and schedule: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to maintain consistent engagement with therapy.
Online services are delivered by licensed professionals and allow for continuity of care even when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange. If a particular therapist does not feel like the right fit, clients have the option to switch to a different therapist at any time.
For those weighing their options, online therapy offers accessible ways to address everyday mental health concerns while fitting treatment into a busy life.
