Augustina Garba, LPC

Augustina is both professional and personable. I appreciate that she is always timely and listens. Just recently my youngest sibling passed away - his passing has me in a different place, because of that I have considered a different counselor. This has nothing to do with Augustina . I am okay with continuing with her, but I'm not quite ready to talk to anyone. I can't stress enough that this has nothing to do with Augustina.

Augustina has been such an incredible help for me these past few months. She is compassionate, kind, and so good at what she does- and I picked up on this right away in our first session. Augustina is so good at going with the flow and asking intuitive questions that drive deep introspection, discussion, and healing. There is a really great balance between her listening & talking/sharing information during sessions. She gives me things to work on between sessions, and she is extremely responsive to any messages that are sent. I highly, highly recommend Augustina.

Ms. Garba is exactly what I needed in a therapist. Great listener, offers the tools I need when I need them. It's not easy to work through my issues, but well worth the effort. I'm so happy I signed up for Betterhelp!

Augustina is a great therapist. She listens very well and truly cares about your well being. I've been with her for a year and have learned a lot with her. She is awesome. You'll be lucky to have her as a therapist.

At first I was hesitant, mostly by the nature of my treatment resistant struggles and previous encounters with new therapists, but after I had an opportunity to let myself be completely vulnerable and unrestrained with Augustina, I found an incredible and compassionate shepherd on my emotional journey to self-betterment. She is kind, caring, and attentive, ensuring I was understood and heard, while at the same time gently guiding me in the right direction, nudging me forward with a tender firmness that persisted even as I reflexively protested. I am thankful for the progress I have made alongside her.
If you are looking for a therapist, I highly recommend Miss Garba, she is a blessing!

Augustina has been a fantastic benefit to me so far in helping to process a lot of tough emotions, situations, and we began to talk about Adverse Childhood Experiences, a crucial bases for measures of safety and security then and into Adulthood; and how we interact with it because of those experiences and traumas. Her insight and perspective has been very valuable! And the fact that BetterHelp allows messaging and Augustina is very timely to respond, I felt supported and heard when I felt I needed it. I was able to discuss other alternative and compatible types of therapy that may be useful to me as well, not just talk talk therapy, which is very comprehensive and meets needs virtual therapy can not. Highly recommended!!!
