About Nita

Alo, my name is Nita Agustin, and I go by she/they pronoun.

I�m your friendly neighbourhood LGBTQ therapist based in Burnaby, BC, ready to help you find yourself on this journey called life.

If you�re expecting a typical, �professional� looking counsellor, I will warn you, that�s not me. I show up the way I want my clients to show up – as my whole self. I laugh loudly. I speak openly and I encourage my clients to do the same 🙂

I�m committed to creating a space to make mycurious youth clients feel safe, heard, validated, and affirmed no matter what they bring into the room.

As an LGBTQ therapist, I draw a lot on my personal experiences to guide me in my work with my youth and young adults clients.

Growing up queer in Indonesia and making a big move to Burnaby, BC, in 2011, has framed a lot of how I view the world and given me valuable insight on navigating LGBTQIA2S+ issues, cross-cultural changes, life transitions, and finding yourself.

When you come see me, I want you to feel at home and welcome to be yourself. I�m not here to be an authority in your life, but an ear to listen to, a shoulder to cry on, and a voice of compassion, understanding, and motivation.
