I was born and raised here in Anchorage, Alaska. I am Board Certified in Child/Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, with additional Board Certification through the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons. I hold special interests in ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and developmental delay.Before I started my medical training I spent a year working as a commercial fisherman and as a teacher assistant in a special education classroom. I then attended Pacific Northwest University to obtain my medical degree. This was followed by three years of Adult Psychiatry Residency in Pennsylvania. After completing my adult training I completed two more years of Fellowship training to specialize in Child/Adolescent Psychiatry at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute in Utah.As someone who’s family has been in Alaska almost 80 years, it felt natural to come back and treat the members of my community. Today my focus is on providing support as my patient’s seek to better their lives and improve functioning. To accomplish this, I first focus on completing an in depth psychiatric evaluation, with particular focus on reported areas of distress. Once the assessment is completed my goal becomes to inform patients about the biological, psychological, and social factors that impact their functioning. In doing this, my hope is to create well informed patients who are empowered to make the best decisions for their individual treatment needs. His clinical expertise encompasses Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Major Depression. Dr. Augustin is board certified in ABPN- Adult Psychiatry, ABPN- Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, NBPAS- Adult Psychiatry, and NBPAS- Child/Adolescent Psychiatry.
