I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in the State of Colorado. I hold two Master Degrees; an MA in Counseling Psychology and an MA in Depth Psychology, both from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I am also currently a PhD Candidate, studying Depth Psychology with an emphasis in Somatic studies. I have been working in the field of mental health for 26 years and as a therapist since 2010.
My perspective is that unresolved issues from the past create thought, belief, behavior, and life patterns that negatively impact the present.
The methods and modalities I use is informed by an alchemical Mind/Body/Soul model, which uses Jungian-based and Embodied Psycho-dynamic principles, combined with other modalities that recognize the multiple aspects of psyche and dynamics within the human experience. I believe all people are beautiful divine souls. Our suffering and pain on this earth-walk takes nothing away from our divinity, it births our compassion and spiritual consciousness. This perspective has been the guiding light of my life's path.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Augustino Tierramar. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've worked with many therapists over the years and I have to say Augustino was the first to make me feel really seen, heard, and validated in my human experience without any judgment. They have been a great pillar of support for me in a very trying time of my life and are truly a lovely human. <3

Augustino is a great therapist who helped me during a time of grieving. He had so many tools and if one doesn’t work he has 5 more for you to try. I would highly recommend him, very easy to talk to and is responsive. Great therapist!!!

Augustino seems to be a very well educated and compassionate therapist. I have had other therapists and they dont even come close to giving me the tools he has to deal with my stress and depression
