Hello, I’m Augusto Huerta Minakata, LMFT. I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in a supportive, collaborative, and culturally responsive space. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I’m passionate about helping you navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my graduate degree from the University of Phoenix with a specialization in Solution-Focused Therapy. In my private practice, I work with adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I have extensive experience supporting clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, maternal mental health concerns, and relationship difficulties. I also specialize in working with survivors of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, community violence, and adult children of alcoholics.

My approach to therapy is interactive, strengths-based, and practical. I believe you already have important strengths and resources, and together we’ll build on what’s already working while developing effective coping strategies and clear, achievable goals. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and use evidence-based approaches to support your healing and growth.

Above all, I strive to offer a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to support you as you build resilience and move toward the life you want and deserve.
