Augustina Garba
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!

I am a licensed counselor and a certified rehabilitation counselor operating in Wisconsin. I’ve worked in many colorful and exciting fields and alongside and for many incredible people: I most recently served as a counselor with the state's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. I've practiced within the community (Madison, WI) as a case manager and a forensic mental health counselor for approximately 4 years - helping folks that had severe and persistent mental illnesses navigate their wellness and the courts. Prior to becoming a counselor, I worked as an agent for the Department of Corrections. I was a trained financial planner, a licensed airplane mechanic (A&P), and I've moved pianos up and down hot narrow stairways in Houston, TX. My style and substance are client-centered and very heavily influenced by Rogerian or humanistic psychology. I am not the boss within my clients’ lives. And I strongly believe in counselors maintaining unconditional and positive regard for all clients, past, present, and future, but additionally, to maintain rationalism about what may be going on in someone's life, and above all else, that we be 100% honest with all of our people.
