Augusta Gordon (She/Her), LCSW-R, BC-TMH

CEO and Owner of Greenpoint Psychotherapy | Therapist for Therapists | Psychedelic Psychotherapy | Liberation Advocate

About Me: Augusta Gordon embodies a journey marked by resilience, empathy, and a relentless pursuit of liberation. Raised in rural New England amidst the struggles of poverty, Augusta’s identity as a queer, cisgender white woman shapes her understanding of oppression and influences her commitment to fostering empowerment and liberation for herself and others. Her experiences as a survivor of an abusive relationship and a single mother have deeply influenced her mission to dismantle systemic barriers and increase liberation through community and connection.

Professional Background: With a foundation rooted in Buddhist principles and yoga, Augusta has embarked on a unique and non-traditional path of healing and self-discovery. She has done so by exploring the intersections of spirituality, psychotherapy, social justice, psychedelics, and pleasure activism, shaping her holistic approach to mental health and well-being. Augusta’s journey led her to become a licensed psychotherapist and the founder of Greenpoint Psychotherapy, where she directs a practice committed to providing quality therapy services to diverse populations as the CEO.

Interest in Psychedelics and Psychedelic Integration Therapy: Augusta’s exploration of holistic healing modalities and liberation led her to develop an interest in psychedelics and their therapeutic benefits. Recognizing the profound impact of psychedelics on consciousness and personal transformation, Augusta became certified in Psychedelic Psychotherapy from Naropa University. She specializes in psychedelic integration therapy, providing support for individuals before, during, and after psychedelic experiences to maximize therapeutic outcomes and promote lasting healing and growth.

If you are interested in learning more about the therapeutic potential of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Augusta can support and guide you through that process. Psychedelics, like Ketamine, can facilitate a dissociation of the mind from the body, offering a window into our subconscious. During a psychedelic journey, deep-rooted emotions and profound awareness can be revealed. This transformative experience often serves as a breakthrough for many clients and can help them to understand and address their presenting symptoms. If you are curious about this, Augusta can work with you on crafting a personalized plan to effectively integrate your experience and insights.

Philosophy and Approach: Augusta’s therapeutic approach is grounded in relational psychotherapy and depth psychology, drawing upon elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-related interventions. She believes that every person has their own answers within and she creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings and access their unique inner wisdom and resources.
