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!

Hello and welcome! I'm Christine, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Minnesota. I work with adult individuals, with a focus on supporting persons who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about what comes next. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, caregiving demands, or a growing sense that something in life no longer feels aligned. My approach is warm, conversational, and reflective. Together, we'll explore patterns, gain clarity, and identify meaningful steps forward. While we may occasionally discuss past experiences briefly, our work is primarily focused on the present-day challenges and opportunities in your life. I often work with thoughtful, reflective individuals who are motivated to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. They are open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and willing to continue reflecting on insights between sessions. If you're looking for a supportive, collaborative space to gain clarity, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater confidence and intention, I'd be honored to support you. I’m available for sessions by phone or video only and do not offer sessions via messaging. I'm mostly available Monday-Thursday evenings 5-8 and Tuesday-Thursday days 11-2. Individuals exploring support for trauma, parenting, eating disorder, neurodivergence, personality disorders or substance use will benefit from an alternative provider trained in these areas, who can offer specialized treatment interventions tailored to those concerns. Individuals looking for couples counseling can outreach BetterHelp Support to inquire about services with Regain.

• I have been a practicing mental health therapist for over 20 years. I was originally licensed in Tennessee, then Ohio and have been in the Twin Cities since 2011. • Most of the past 20 years I have worked in chemical dependence treatment centers and specialized in chemical dependency in my private practice. I was a part of the Pride Institute for 8 years and have also specialized in treatment for the LGBTQIA in my private practice. • As a self-identified Transman, I have practiced openly where it has been safe to do so and have been writing letters for other trans identified clients for over a decade. I have worked with both adolescent and adult clients over the years. • I use clinical hypnotherapy as a part of my practice to help process traumas so that clients are not as obstructed by them and can focus more on other problems in their lives. I have been practicing clinical hypnotherapy since 2005. With Clinical Hypnotherapy (CH), I use metaphors to help clients understand concepts. CH is a powerful way to make changes quickly. I believe that one must visualize what that change might be like in their lives to achieve permanent change and deal with the impact that change manifests. • Another of my more recent specialties is I am a certified Reiki Master Healer and Teacher. I use Reiki with clients to help them relax, for pain management and to provide an alternative to therapy.

Finding a licensed therapist near you in Minnesota can be an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Minnesota is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Minnesota, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Minnesota (MN). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Minnesota, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?
