Getting to know Sombul Augustine
The provider is a "Associate Counselor" with license number 37AC00951100, practicing under the supervision of Ishanie Sanchez.
I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while developing practical tools for lasting change. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and emotional regulation issues.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful personal growth. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I am committed to helping you move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if this is your first experience. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, respected, and empowered throughout the process. I believe that therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and open communication.
Clients often describe my style as warm, supportive, and practical. While I provide empathy and understanding, I also help clients develop concrete skills and strategies that can be applied in daily life. We will work together to identify goals, address obstacles, and create meaningful changes that align with your values and priorities. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, therapy is tailored to your specific needs and pace.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session focuses on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and exploring what has brought you to therapy. Together, we will discuss your personal history, current challenges, strengths, and goals for treatment. This initial assessment helps us develop a plan that is personalized to your unique needs.
As therapy progresses, sessions focus on helping you gain insight, build effective coping skills, and make meaningful changes in areas that are causing distress. Depending on your goals, we may work on managing anxiety and stress, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, processing difficult experiences, increasing self-confidence, or navigating major life transitions. Throughout treatment, I use evidence-based approaches and adjust our work to ensure it remains relevant, practical, and supportive of your growth. My goal is to help you feel more confident, resilient, and equipped to manage life's challenges both inside and outside of therapy.
