Welcome! I’m Augustin (he/him pronouns). I provide individual therapy in Minneapolis for adults of all ages and life experiences. If you’re at a point of needing to explore your identity, build self-worth, heal from trauma, find ways to change, accept difficult circumstances, or get support in living in oppressive systems, let’s connect and see if we might do good work together.
I offer the ability to help you move more deeply into who you are and who you want to be. I believe the answers you seek can be found through the relational work we do together and the discoveries you make about yourself along the way. I have found that therapy is often about seeking change, but it is also about acceptance of what you experience and the circumstances of your life. The way out is through. |
What I bring to our sessions
Discerning questions to help you get to know yourself better.
Curiosity about all aspects of who you are and how you understand the world.
Gentle challenges within a relationship of support and care.
Collaborative facilitation based on the belief that you have the internal resources to heal.
Acceptance of the complexity of human experience, especially painful, traumatic, distressing, or damaging events (no matter what your role was).
Witnessing and holding space for all of your qualities, feelings, and experiences (every single one!).
An integrative approach including emotional, intellectual, creative, and body-based practices, based on my intuition and on what feels right to you.
An anti-oppressive orientation. Power structures create suffering and affect how we approach healing and empowerment. Cultural humility, not cultural competency.

This is not an exhaustive list of the life experiences my clients have. Anyone who feels they would benefit from my specific approach to therapy is welcome to contact me. Therapy, in my opinion, is less about working on a particular issue or diagnosis than with a whole person.
I am experienced with clients with alternative sexualities, including but not limited to queer, polyamorous, kink/BDSM, and asexual identities. Through a personal commitment to anti-racism, queer liberation, fat liberation, disability justice, and gender equity, I strive to provide a supportive space for clients who are BIPOC, disabled, neurodiverse, of any body size, and with any gender and sexuality identities.
