Augustina Garba, LPCC, LPC

Augustina Garba is a licensed professional counselor who brings over two decades of clinical experience to her work with children, adults, couples, and families. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater in May 2002 and holds the LPCC and LPC credentials, which indicate licensed professional counselor status. Early in her career she worked with adults facing serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and during her internship she was exposed to the needs of severely abused and neglected children. That exposure shaped a lasting commitment to supporting children and families and to working with survivors of childhood abuse.

Since opening a private practice in 2009, she has provided individual and family therapy that often focuses on anger management for children and at-risk teenagers, as well as helping adults recover from trauma and its related effects, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks, and stress. She also works extensively with couples on relationship building, divorce and separation issues, anger management, and situations involving domestic violence.

Her counseling approach emphasizes restoring self-efficacy for individuals, couples, and families through collaborative work, practical teaching skills, and tangible assignments designed to support long-term solutions. She is known for being supportive, attentive, consistent, and dedicated to building a reliable therapeutic relationship, and she looks forward to helping clients move toward hope and meaningful change.
