Augustina Garba

Augustina Garba is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and other everyday challenges. She draws on more than two decades of experience to support clients through life changes and difficult emotions. Her work often focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

Garba earned a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater and holds the credentials LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). Early in her career she worked in adult mental health with people diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and during an internship she worked with severely abused and neglected children. Those experiences shaped her focus on trauma recovery and family concerns.

Over the years she moved into private practice and began offering individual and family therapy. She supports adults, children, couples, and families addressing anger, parenting challenges, relationship troubles, and the effects of childhood abuse. She also helps people dealing with depression, panic, post-traumatic stress, and mood-related concerns.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions include listening, teaching practical skills, and assigning short exercises clients can try between meetings. She aims to restore confidence and help clients build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Based in Wisconsin, she provides therapy in English and uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to match each person’s needs.
