About Augusta

Augusta Wellington is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 30 years of experience in New York. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also works with issues related to narcissism, attachment wounds, and feelings of isolation.

Her sessions focus on understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and in personal life. She uses psychodynamic approaches that look at how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions. Conversations aim to bring clearer self‑awareness and to make everyday choices feel easier.

Augusta trained at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and is a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association. She holds the LCSW-R credential in New York, which she uses while working with adults across a range of emotional and relational struggles.

In practical terms, she blends close listening with guided reflection. That can mean tracking recurring feelings, naming unspoken needs, or noticing patterns that get in the way of connection. Sessions are paced to the person’s readiness and goals.

Many people come for help after a life transition, during ongoing mood or anxiety problems, or when relationship patterns feel stuck. The work aims to increase understanding, reduce shame or guilt, and support clearer communication with others.

Psychodynamic insight and online therapy options

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past relationships and early experiences shape present feelings and behavior. It helps people who notice repeating patterns in relationships, persistent mood or anxiety problems, or ongoing struggles with self‑esteem by encouraging reflection on emotions and motives.

Augusta combines this exploration with careful listening and gentle interpretation to help people name long‑standing patterns. The work often involves tracing how old dynamics show up now, so people can make different choices and feel less stuck. This approach can be helpful for issues like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or difficulties with intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether psychodynamic work fits a person's goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as needs change. Clients and therapist together clarify what to focus on and how fast to move.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check‑ins from different locations. They can also allow a mix of longer weekly sessions and shorter check‑ins when needed, depending on the therapist's available offerings.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
