About me
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. In 2009, I went into Private Practice. I work with couples providing individual and couple therapy. I have counseled many individuals and couples in relationship building. I counsel couples with relationship and divorce issues, anger management and domestic violence. I also work with survivors of domestic violence to help them heal from trauma and to overcome related issues and problems that could develop due to the abuse they experienced. These range from depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks and stress.
My focus in counseling is to work with you to resolve issues that challenge you and restore self-efficacy to couples and individuals. 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 relationship and solution. I am consistent and believe in building a trusting and reliable client-therapist relationship.
I look forward to working with you!

Augustina brings warmth, honesty, and strength with her presence. Demanding a safe environment for partners, she speaks from the perspective of what is best for the relationship. Both challenging and supportive, Augustina is committed to saving love. Thank you for your help. I am better because of it.
We appreciate the wisdom Augustina is able to bring to our conversations. She is good at making sure we both feel heard and understood. We highly recommend her to any couple.
So far I’ve had two live sessions and chatted via text with Augustina and so far so Great! She’s calm, listens, and advises really well.
A very sweet lady. A great listener and gives awesome advice. She always has a big smile on her face when she greets us and seems very genuine.
She is very helpful.
This was our first time trying marriage counseling so we weren’t sure what to expect, Augustina has been absolutely fabulous in helping us navigate tricky conversations while making sure both of us get a chance to feel seen and heard. Her calm energy is so wonderful. Thank you Augustina, we appreciate you!
Wonderful listener, and good at helping provide a neutral space for productive conversations. Highly recommend.
We've been working with Augustina for two months and she has really helped us communicate better about difficult topics. She's empathetic and always a step ahead of what we're thinking, which has really helped us stay on track of our own inner work. She's very kind and clear, and has guided us back into thinking, feeling and acting more as the team that we are - instead of opposite sides. She's great and I'd recommend working with her, specially for multicultural couples like us.
I appreciate her neutral position she able to see both of our perspectives.
She’s very helpful
Augustina has been a pleasure to work with and we always look forward to sessions with her. She's been greatly insightful and the matters we bring to her she has a wealth of knowledge that we are fortunate for.
Augustina has been great. I love the fact that she smiles frequently and just seems to give a caring vibe.
Augustina is amazing, she's been so wonderful, and we fully trust her and her knowledge in marital counseling. Highly Recommended.
We’ve tried a few therapists elsewhere and Augustina has been the only one we’ve made progress with. We can’t say enough great things about her.
My husband and I had two sessions with Ms. Garba. She was able to provide us advice that would help our relationship. We took her words to heart and within a few weeks, we had a very different and positive relationship with each other. I highly recommend Ms. Garba to anyone seeking to mend a troubled relationship.
Augustina actively listens to both parties. I am amazed at how she picks up on deeper issues then suggests such simple solutions. Augustina you are such a gift. I feel blessed that you were selected for us...
She is compassionate and strong, guiding us through difficult topics. She has helped us strengthen our marriage and parenting, and provided support at a difficult time.
I’m grateful and appreciative of what Augustina taught me. I can honestly say I’m a different person now! A more confidence, caring and grateful person. She helped me navigate and heal the pains from my past that controlled my relationships. Thank you Augustina!
Ms Garba is a very professional and kind therapist. She listens. Offers constructive advice while not taking sides. I would highly recommend her.
I loved how positive Augustina was and yet so sincere. She was extremely helpful and just what we needed right when we needed it.
Really appreciate our connection to Augustina. I can't picture a better fit for us!
She is great, looking forward to meeting with her again.
I’ve only had two sessions with Ms Garba, and she was able to break thru a shell that was harden for a long time. It was hard dealing with the facts but I’m greatly she was available and able to help me get thru it so far.
Amazing!
