Hattie Bluestone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You may be coming to therapy feeling stuck and exhausted by patterns you can’t seem to change—anxiety, self-criticism, difficulty connecting with others, or pushing through emotions rather than fully experiencing them. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy offers a different approach. Rather than fighting against these parts of yourself, we turn toward them with curiosity and compassion, seeking to understand how they developed and the ways they have tried to protect you. Often, the patterns causing difficulties today began as creative adaptations to earlier challenges. When these parts feel understood, something naturally softens, creating the conditions for meaningful and lasting change. Beyond symptom relief, IFS can help you feel more grounded, connected, and at ease within yourself, allowing you to move through life with greater confidence, authenticity, and emotional freedom.

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but mental suffering can be reduced. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy offers way out of these avoidant patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

New Beginnings Counseling Center (NBCC)
Pre-Licensed Professional
At New Beginnings Counseling Center's (NBCC) Donald J. Willfong Community Counseling Center, we are deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges with compassionate, accessible, and culturally attuned mental health care. For over 50 years, our nonprofit clinic has been a cornerstone of the Santa Barbara community, offering confidential counseling and therapeutic services that empower people to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Our diverse team of masters- and doctoral-level counselors — supported by experienced clinical supervisors — provides evidence-informed therapy in a traineeship setting, helping clients explore life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, compulsive behaviors, substance use challenges, stress, anger management, isolation, and more. We offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling, available both in person and through telehealth to meet the varied needs of our community.
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of financial means. That’s why we provide one of the most affordable sliding-scale fee structures in the region — many clients pay less than $15 per session — and we never turn anyone away due to inability to pay. Counseling is available in both English and Spanish.
In addition to our clinical services, New Beginnings is dedicated to fostering community well-being through training the next generation of clinicians, integrating trauma-informed practices, and ensuring that our services are responsive, respectful, and strength-based. Our mission is to help individuals not just cope, but truly thrive, by supporting their emotional growth, resilience, and overall wellness.
We warmly welcome you to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery with us.
